It is the responsibility of Procurement Services to convert requests (requisitions) into Purchase Orders or contracts using procedures established by Legislative regulations, State law, and the policies and directives of the CSU Board of Trustee and the President of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona; and to regard each transaction on its own merits and to promote fair, ethical and legal practices.

To claim the 5% preference (which may not exceed $50,000 for any bid) the vendor must have its principal place of business located in California and must be verified by the Office of Small Business and DVBE Services.
