04-19 Suppliers, Vendor Database and Evaluation

“Suppliers” also referred to as “vendors” are the outside businesses from which the College/District purchases materials, supplies, equipment and services it needs to operate and do business. ( No district employees may engage in business with the College/District outside of their employment contract.)

A. Sourcing – Process of identifying multiple suppliers promotes healthy competition for the College/District’s business leading to lower prices, higher quality, better after-sale service and improved value for its dollar.

B. Vendor Database – Maintained by Procurement Vendor Maintenance New vendors and corrections to existing vendor information must be

requested through the “Create Vendor Form” http://www.laccd.edu/business_services/vendor_docs/create_vendor_for

m.xls Vendor Maintenance verifies whether vendor appears on the “Excluded Parties List

System” maintained by the federal government. Vendor must have an existing record in SAP prior to purchase entry.

Page 58: Procurement Training Los Angeles Community Colleges

04-20 Procurement Considerations for Specially Funded Programs (SFP)

Procurement with SFP funds requires additional monitoring and oversight to ensure purchases are made within grant and grantor agency guidelines.

Difficult to establish a set of procedures encompassing every nuance of the multitude of grant agreements in place.

A. Award of SFP Funds Prior to setting up an SFP budget for procurement, SFP

program director must receive a written award letter or offer from the grantor agency.

B. Establish a Budget Cost Center Forward documents to District Budget Office. Work

Breakdown Structure (WBS) code assigned by the District Accounting Office upon receipt of various documents identified. DO Budget Office establishes matching fund center to WBS.
