SECTION II

PROCUREMENT TYPE, PROCESS, AND SELECTION

2.1. Procurement Type: WSU’s competitive procurement types include: (1) Sealed Bid; (2) Negotiated

Bid; and (3) Simplified Acquisitions. The type of procurement for this RFP is noted on the RFP Cover Page.

2.1.1.

A Sealed Bid process includes: (1) a solicitation to bid; (2) publication of solicitation; (3)

Proposals submitted under seal by Bidders and the Proposals are not opened or reviewed

until the Closing Date; (4) Proposals are reviewed by WSU after the Closing Date and are

generally evaluated without discussion without the Bidders; and (5) WSU awards the work

to the “Responsible Bidder” whose Proposal is determined to be the most advantageous

to WSU based on the neutral criteria established by WSU.

2.1.2.

A Negotiated Bid is a more flexible bidding procedure that includes the receipt of Proposals

and permits negotiations between WSU and Bidders. This process usually affords the

Bidders an opportunity to revise their Proposal before award of a Contract to account for

changes in scope of services or goods, timelines, or value-added changes to a project.

“Negotiation” includes discussion, persuasion, and alteration of initial assumptions and

positions, and give-and-take may apply to price, schedule, technical requirements, type of

contract, or other terms of a proposed contract. “Best and final offers” are frequently

required under the Negotiated Bid procurement.

2.1.3.

Simplified Acquisitions is the most flexible form of procurement. Simplified Acquisitions can

only occur if the procurement expenditure does not exceed the WSU established threshold.

A Simplified Acquisition affords WSU the ability to call upon qualified vendors, contractors,

and individuals for a quote and to negotiate a final agreement.
