Sourcing Request Form

Public Solicitations are required for purchases valued at $75k and greater unless exempt from competitive solicitation under regulation USF4.02010(IV)(A)(2-3).


The purpose of this Sourcing Request form is to collect information about the goods and/or services you would like to purchase that are anticipated to exceed $75,000 over the life of the contract. Procurement Services will review the request and assign a facilitator to assist with a Public Solicitation, or with finding available suppliers who can fulfill the need through an acceptable publicly awarded contract.

Department Information

(i.e. Emergency Management, Facilities & Maintenance, Construction & Design, University Police, Parking and Transportation)

Typically the requestor, or the person with the most knowledge regarding the scope of work and need. This will be the primary contact Procurement will use to seek additional information.

Please indicate "yes" if you are willing to coordinate with other USF Departments, Units and Campuses if this sourcing effort is found to be of benefit to the USF Community as a whole. Please note that strategic direction and workforce availability may require collaboration for certain services or commodities despite preference. This will be discussed with your Procurement sourcing resource.
