A brief description of the program:
Ohio State Lima follows the purchasing policy of the main campus Purchasing Office. The University policy generally deals with a defined regional or national vendor list. However, Ohio State Lima does work with local businesses on smaller projects and/or when purchasing policy does not specify a specific university-wide vendor or company. A recent example is a contract with a local elevator firm to provide elevator maintenance work.
