District Wide Spending
Authority, Requirements & Conditions
The following purchasing dollar thresholds provide the requirements that are approved by the Board of
Trustees:
•
Purchases of less than $2,500: Competitive bidding is not required. Such items may be purchased from
any vendor offering the required goods or services at a reasonable price. Price comparison is highly
recommended.
•
Purchases of $2,500 and up to $25,000 require three price quotations in writing. The quotations must be
summarized on the bid recapitulation sheet and attached to the requisition form. At least one of the three
vendors must be a certified MBE/WBE vendor. If a sole source vendor, attach an updated vendor letter.
•
Purchases in excess of $25,000 formal competitive bidding is required. Formal competitive bidding
requires that the initiating department prepare written specifications describing the required goods or
services. The specifications must be submitted via e-mail to the Department of Procurement Services
(procurementservices@ccc.edu ) and with copy to the College Executive Director of Business Operations
to ensure that the specifications are complete and in the proper form. Specifications shall be prepared as
objectively as possible, so that the advantage provided to any particular vendor is based on the
appropriateness of that vendor’s product.
The Procurement Policy remains consistent with Illinois
Public Community College Act.
