Helping to Navigate the Procurement Process

All purchases of goods and services must be made in accordance with 亚洲无码 . These ensure that procurement activities are conducted with transparency, fairness, and fiscal responsibility.

  • All purchases—regardless of funding source—must adhere to system policies and procedures.

  • Purchases over $100,000 require a competitive bidding process, unless they meet certain exemption criteria.

  • For most purchases, suppliers will use our e-procurement system, JAGGAER.

Not sure where to start? Our team is here to help guide you through the process. Reach out with questions to sourcing@minnstate.edu—we are here to support you.
