"All Desktops, Portable Units, and Monitors offered under this contract shall meet or exceed the EPA Energy Star Requirements and shall meet or exceed the EPEAT Silver requirements."
As per Brunswick Community College's Purchasing Manual:
"This [manual] is intended to provide you with the general rules needed to prepare a purchase requisition. It applies to the acquisition of all equipment, materials, supplies, printing, and services, through outright purchase, rental, lease, or lease-purchase.
All community colleges are required by General Statute §115D-58.5 to purchase all supplies, equipment and materials by contracts made by or with the approval of the Division of Purchase and Contract (P&C) of the Department of Administration.
The State’s purchasing program is based on sound competitive purchasing procedures. The importance of seeking competition exists at all levels of expenditure. Fostering competition is an attitude more than a procedure. It is reflected in the way specifications are written, in searching for new sources of supply, in attempting to make procurement documents simple and inviting, and in everyday courteousness shown to prospective suppliers and contractors. Where competition is not sought, or obtained, the reason must be valid and documented.
Price is not the only consideration in seeking competition. Other factors include: terms and conditions, delivery schedules, lead times, types and degrees of service required, inspection and testing procedures, transportation and delivery costs, warranties and guarantees required, etc."
