Procurement and Contracting Sample Clauses

Procurement and Contracting. This chapter outlines the requirements for using Federal funds to purchase materials, products, or services under the CDBG Entitlement program. Whether you are a small agency purchasing occasional office supplies or a large organization contracting for millions of dollars of construction services, the requirements governing the purchasing process are designed to ensure that you: • Follow a free and open competitive process in securing those products or services. • Properly document your purchasing activities and decisions. • Observe the special rules for particular kinds of purchases (small purchases, competitive sealed bids, competitive proposals, and sole source procurements). • Properly bond and insure work involving large construction contracts and/or subcontracts. • Use local businesses and contract with small, minority and/or women-owned businesses to the maximum extent feasible.

By following these requirements you are helping to guarantee the fairness and the vitality of our free market system, and to ensure that taxpayer resources are not being wasted. By observing the basic rules, you’ll also find your purchasing decisions can be more efficient. For example, if you set up a standardized purchasing system for securing price quotations and preparing purchase orders, you won’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to buy materials and supplies. These efficiencies in turn can help make your limited purchasing budgets go much farther. You’ll also have the satisfaction of knowing you paid a fair price for every purchase.
