Price and Vendor List Contracts
A price list contract is comprised of a group of common items or services competitively bid to set the prices contractually for a specified time period. A vendor awarded a price list contract is obligated to provide the specified goods or services, at the contracted price and terms, to all purchasing agencies committed to the contract.
A vendor list contract is comprised of qualified vendors that were competitively solicited to provide specified goods and/or services (i.e. Copiers and Facsimile Equipment, WSCA Computer Equipment and Services, etc.) for a specified period and usually at discount rates from a vendor's established catalog or product lists.
To utilize a price or vendor list contract:
- a CPO jurisdiction or government agency must be listed in the price/vendor list contract; and
- personnel purchasing from a price/vendor list contract must take SPO Workshop SPO 190.
