Procurement of Goods and Services<\/h3>\n

The Purchasing Department\u2019s responsibility is always to find the best value. Value is judged as the ability to obtain a product or services of specified quality at a designated time and at a reasonable and competitive price. Lowest price is not necessarily the sole determinant. Delivery time, payment terms, quality of the goods or services may also be considered. After all, a low price does not guarantee delivery, and a lower quality item may not prove price advantageous over the long run if it is replaced more frequently. Please go to our\u00a0Purchasing page<\/a> for more information and to obtain our Vendor Information Form for procurement of goods and services.<\/p>\n

District policy requires that a Purchase Order or CalCard must be used for the purchase of all goods and\/or services. To protect your company, make sure you have a Purchase Order or District CalCard account number before you proceed with any service or before you supply any goods to Palomar College. This policy ensures prompt payment upon completion of services or delivery of merchandise. If you provide goods or services without Purchase Order or CalCard account number, you are doing business with the individual who places the order. That individual may be personally responsible for any obligations incurred.<\/p>\n

Insurance Requirements<\/h3>\n

Vendors are required to maintain adequate insurance<\/a>\u00a0to protect themselves and the District from claims for damages or personal injury.<\/p>\n
