Noss – 717-783-2090 or [email protected] The Department of General Services, Bureau of Purchases has received numerous requests for items to be unrestricted for purchase through Office Max, A Boise Company. Because these are no longer isolated instances, but increasing daily in number, the following will be reinforced. According to Exhibit A, Paragraph 1 of the Contract, the following items are excluded under this contract: Furniture Software Computers Computer Peripherals Fax Machines Multifunctional Print Devices Janitorial Supplies (Envelopes are not specifically stated in the scope, however, there is an envelope contract and this should be checked before they are purchased from Office Max, as well as food and food service equipment.) In keeping with the ‘scope’ of the Office Supply Contract, these items cannot be ordered from this Contract. In order to maintain contract integrity with existing contract suppliers, future requests for these items from the Office Supply Contract is and will be restricted. If an agency does not meet minimum order requirements, they are not required to use the existing contracts and can purchase the item from another source, including Office Max, as long as procurement guidelines are followed. However, the agency should not order the item from the Contract or SAP Outline Agreement for Office Supplies as a contracted item. Office Max may still give them the same discount as offered on their contract for office supplies, however, they are not obligated to do so. The agency may still use SAP to order the item that is ‘under the minimum requirement’ as a purchase not connected to an “outline agreement.” They should indicate in the header text of the SAP purchase order the reason for making the “off contract” purchase in order to alleviate any payment issues with their Comptroller. If using the Procurement Card, the same documentation is needed. Since many of the manufacturers/suppliers currently on statewide contracts will waive any shipping charges for orders under the minimum. The agency should check with the suppliers on these respective contracts first before making an “off contract” purchase.

DGS 4/15/05 Commonwealth Purchasing through PIBH To provide persons with severe disabilities with meaningful employment and training, the Commonwealth Procurement Code (Code) establishes a method for contracting for products manufactured by and services performed by persons with disabilities. Under this contracting method, Commonwealth agencies may contract with nonprofit agencies for persons with disabilities for these products and services if they are available at a price the Department of General Services (DGS) determines to be a fair market price. There is no requirement for Commonwealth agencies to use competitive bidding to procure these products and services. To be eligible to participate in this program, nonprofit agencies for persons with disabilities must certify to DGS that persons with designated disabilities – visual impairment, mental retardation, or physical disability – will make an appreciable contribution to the manufacturing of the product or the performance of the service. In each case, DGS makes the final determination of eligibility. The nonprofit agencies must also be capable of manufacturing the product or performing the service in accordance with the Commonwealth’s contract requirements. DGS has designated Pennsylvania Industries for the Blind and Handicapped, commonly known as PIBH, as the central nonprofit agency to coordinate the marketing of all products and services available to Commonwealth agencies through the various nonprofit agencies for persons with disabilities. PIBH creates and provides an annual updated catalog of available products and services to Commonwealth agencies. DGS monitors PIBH and the participating nonprofit agencies for compliance with the statutory requirements that agencies for persons with disabilities must fulfill in manufacturing products and performing services for Commonwealth agencies. DGS, in cooperation with the purchasing Commonwealth agency, is required to conduct annual compliance reviews of all Commonwealth contracts with agencies for persons with disabilities where the cost exceeds $300,000 per year.
