FCC uses a variety of sourcing methods based on the nature, complexity, and estimated dollar value of a purchase.
- Quotes: For routine or lower-value purchases
- Bids (IFBs): Awarded based on price and compliance
- Proposals (RFPs): Evaluated based on approach, experience, and cost
- Piggyback Contracts: FCC may use contracts from other public agencies or cooperative purchasing organizations
- Sole Source Procurements: Used when goods or services are only available from a single vendor, with appropriate justification
To ensure your response is considered:
- Follow all instructions
- Include all required documentation
- Submit by the deadline
