The Supplier Justification Form is not required when purchasing through a Supply Chain Management Preferred Supplier, regardless of dollar amount or fund source – competition requirements are satisfied through Supply Chain Management’s established preferred supplier agreements.
For non-preferred suppliers, the form is required once the purchase reaches:
PREFERRED SUPPLIER:
A supplier with an established WashU agreement that has been vetted for quality, pricing, service, and compliance.
- $10,000 or more, if sponsored (grant/contract) funds used
- $25,000 or more, for all other purchases
