UPDATE: Digital Resource Purchasing Guidelines

Effective November 2, 2020, digital resource purchases (subscription agreements, license agreements, software, etc.) under $5,000 ($0-$4,999) do not need to be sent to the Contracts Help Desk for review. Instead, please enter a requisition and upload the quote together with the terms and conditions to TCM. 

If the purchase for digital resources is $5,000 or more, then the agreement and/or terms and conditions must be sent to the Contracts Help Desk for review and approval.

Please note, there is an approval process for all digital resources regardless of the amount of the purchase.

Amazon Tip of the Day:

If the bid vendors cannot supply the requested item(s), or provide the desired delivery date, or there is a significant price difference, Purchasing may be able to approve making the purchase through the District's Amazon Business account. When requesting to purchase from Amazon rather than a bid vendor, please contact the awarded bid vendor’s representative as listed on the current bid list for a price or capture a screen shot of the vendor's awarded web-catalog price. This documentation should be added to your request to purchase from Amazon in order to verify that the bid vendors were contacted.
