*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***
Printing Services are no longer the exception to the rule, and now follow the same Purchasing Guidelines as all other commodity/service purchases!
In accordance with recent changes in the Texas Building & Procurement Commissions’ definition of “Printing Services” and supporting Texas Attorney General Opinion No. GA-0438, UT System is NO LONGER required to obtain competitive bids for Print/Copy jobs estimated at $5,000.00 or below:
“If the estimated purchase price does not exceed $5,000, you are not required to purchase your print/copy job using a competitive process. Follow your agency’s policies regarding purchases that do not exceed $5000” (The State of Texas Procurement Manual 2.21.; modified 05/04/2006).
