BID INFORMATION VENDOR SERVICES
The procurement of goods and services is governed by Chapter 329 of the Columbus City Code. The Purchasing Office primarily procures materials, supplies, and equipment for contracts exceeding $1,000 for City agencies. It also enters into agreements for some services; however, most service contracts are awarded by the individual City agency Director's Offices. SOLICITATIONS:  | Solicitations for materials, supplies, equipment, and some general services for contracts between $1,000 and less than $20,000s are posted at least 24 hours at the Purchasing Office and the Office attempts to secure at least three quotes. |
