Furniture purchasing procedures for the OSU and A&M Systems
 
The purpose of this guidance is to explain the process to purchase furniture at all campuses and locations within the OSU and A&M Systems.
 
The table below outlines the furniture procurement process:
 

$0 to $10,000

Process as a Small Dollar Purchase following standard purchasing policy. 

$10,000.01 to $50,000.00

Departments may obtain a quote or multiple quotes, if desired, from any contracted supplier(s) and process the order following standard purchasing policy.

$50,000.01 to $249,999.99

The OSU Central Purchasing Department will conduct an electronic bid process through the OK Corral soliciting all contracted suppliers and others, as applicable.

$250,000 and up

The OSU Central Purchasing Department will conduct a formal sealed bid through the OK Corral soliciting all contracted suppliers and others, as applicable, with the assistance of LRFP.

 
All furniture orders are to be submitted on a requisition through the OK Corral, with the associated documentation attached, as outlined in standard purchasing policies. Departments should provide for a minimum lead time of eight (8) weeks for furniture orders to be processed and delivered.
 
When a specific brand of furniture is not represented on any competitively bid furniture contract, the furniture shall be acquired through standard purchasing policies.
 
Questions regarding furniture purchases should be directed to OSU Central Purchasing Department, at 405-744-5984 or purchase@okstate.edu.
