Doing Business with IEUA
What's the difference between "sole source" and "single source?"
A single source procurement is a procurement in which only one source has been solicited usually due to a uniqueness of the service or technology requested. Other sources may be available using slightly different technology. Unless there are compelling reasons to support a single source, these should be avoided due to the perception of impropriety.
Conversely, a sole source procurement is where only one source possesses the unique and singularly available capability to meet the specification requirement and there are no other available sources or substitutions; e.g., replacement OEM parts, etc. This must be justified and backed up with the appropriate documentation.
What's the difference between a Purchase Order, a Blanket Purchase Agreement, a Contract, and an Agreement?
Purchase Orders are used for planned material/supply purchases. Blanket Purchase Agreements are usually established annually for obtaining materials and supplies for: non-inventoried items; emergencies; etc. Contracts are used for any fixed-price or fixed-unit price purchases, large-scale apparatus or professional services where there may be the exposure of risk/liability to the Agency or special warranty provisions requiring added coverage. Agreements are usually used for multi-party arrangements or specialized services. Agreement pricing could fluctuate based upon predetermined factors; e.g., lease agreements, maintenance agreements, etc.
Can I register for more than one commodity or service?
Yes, a supplier can select as many NIGP commodity or service codes that they are qualified to provide.
How can I find out about current solicitations IEUA has to offer?
Solicitations are listed on the Agency’s website at ieuadev.wpengine.com, select Departments, select Contract & Procurements and select "Bid Opportunities", as well as in the lobby at the Agency’s Main Office.
How do I obtain bid results and award of a solicitation?
Posting of the bid results and awards are located on IEUA’s website at ieuadev.wpengine.com, select Departments, select Contract & Procurements and select "Bid Opportunities", as well as in the lobby at the Agency’s Main Office.
What type of insurance is required to do business with IEUA?
This depends on what supplies or services you are providing to IEUA. Public works projects and jobsite services require comprehensive insurance, as required by the Public Contract Code, specific to the risk involved with the work. Consulting services requires comprehensive insurance, including professional liability insurance. Please see the specific solicitation for the required insurance limits.
