FHSU and State Contracts

Fort Hays State University is part of the Regents Purchasing Program. Listed below are guidelines to follow:

1.    All current FHSU established contracts are mandatory and in effect until renegotiated or expired.
2.    All computers, printers, parts, and software are processed through a Lotus Notes CTC Request Form.  This includes sole source boxed software, software maintenance and software licensing.
3.    All printing requests are processed through Printing Services.
4.    All FHSU designs on promotional items require approval by University Relations before the order is placed.
5.    State Use items such as toner cartridges, binders, and other selected office supplies must be purchased from designated state use vendors. These items and all other office supplies are still purchased through Central Purchasing.
6.    Professional and consultant service contracts remain the same. Contracts over $25,000 shall be bid by the Division of Purchases unless determined to be a sole source.
7.    The university retains the option  to use State contracts for any and all purchases and should use such contracts if it provides the desired quality of goods at the lowest possible price.
