Purchasing Guide for Vendors

Thank you for your interest in our campus. Whether you are already a valued business partner or anticipate doing business with the us in the future, we hope you will find the following information informative.

Fitchburg State’s purchasing commitment is to maximize the value of spending resources through competitive bids, efficient purchasing procedures, and state-of-the-art information systems. Fitchburg State’s Procurement rules state that we shall obtain all goods and services at the best overall value to the university. In complying with this policy, the cost of acquisition, the required delivery window, and other pertinent factors must be considered.

To maximize vendor competition and volume discount purchases, departments shall use the University’s, and state or publicly-bid consortia contracts. As an agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, our primary resource for vendors is through authorized cooperative purchasing
contracts awarded to vendors by the Massachusetts Operational Services Division (OSD) and the Massachusetts Higher Education Consortium (MHEC). For guidance on how to become an authorized vendor, please visit the following websites:
