Does this purchase qualify as a sole source procurement, meaning only one supplier can meet the need and there’s no other options?*

Note: A requirement for a particular proprietary product or service does not automatically justify a sole source procurement if there is more than one potential bidder or offeror for that item. A preference for a brand name product also does not justify a sole source procurement.

Price reasonableness must be demonstrated, select how you would like to proceed:*

Option 1: Attach quotations from at least two (2) qualified sources. Acceptable proof includes quotes, emails, internet searches, or documentation on verbal quotes to support this option.

Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest refers to a situation in which financial, professional or other personal considerations may directly or indirectly affect, or have the appearance of affecting, an employee's professional judgment in exercising any university duty or responsibility (see Academic Faculty and Administrative Professional Manual D.7.6 and D.7.7). State employees are additionally held to fiduciary and ethical standards described in C.R.S. § 24-18-103, C.R.S. § 24-18-104, C.R.S. § 24-18-105, C.R.S. § 24-18-201, and C.R.S. § 24-50-117.


Outside financial interests held by a CSU employee that relate to their professional responsibilities or relate to any CSU contract they may influence must be disclosed through the Outside Activities Report in Kuali. The Conflict of Interest Office will work with campus offices to advise strategies that reduce, manage, or eliminate the conflict.


“Immediate Family” includes employee’s spouse, domestic partner (as defined under the University’s benefits plan) or civil union partner (as defined in C.R.S. §14-15-103) and legal dependents (as determined by the Internal Revenue Service Code). “Spouse” means a person who is legally married to an Eligible Employee, including a common-law spouse or same-gender spouse when the applicable jurisdiction’s law recognizes such marriages.

For payment requests, attach an invoice showing the total amount due and remit details.


For purchase requests, please provide a formal quote when possible. If a formal quote is not viable, please attach a screenshot of what you need.
