Public Bid THRESHOLD
Each year the Department of Labor & Industry is required by statute to publish changes to the base amounts triggering the requirement for public bids, telephonic bids and/or separate bids for certain contracts.
The limit for public bidding under the portion of the School Code applicable to PASSHE was raised to $23,800 effective January 1, 2024.
Other contracts for the retention of Architects and Engineers (threshold remains at $10,000).
PLEASE NOTE: Direct Payment (DP) Forms and Request for Vendor ID forms - see Accounting website.
INSURANCE: Insurance cannot be purchased with public funds and is not reimbursable. This is due to the fact that PASSHE Universities are self-insured through the Department of General Services. This includes trip insurance, vehicle insurance, flight insurance, etc. If you have any questions regarding insurance, please contact the Purchasing Department.
