Does the institution give preference to local products and businesses in its purchasing decisions? Local food purchases, which are covered in OP Credit 6: Food Purchasing, are not included in this credit.:
A brief description of the program:
Yeshiva University gives preferential use of local vendors recognizing the fundamental interdependence between the University and the larger NYC communities as a whole. For the purchase of goods and services below $7,500, the purchasing Department of YU encourages doing business with local vendors. The potential advantages of local suppliers in terms of service, delivery and dedication are clear. These advantages, however, must be weighed carefully against regional and national vendors' potential pricing advantages and supply source diversification. The overall balance between these variables (and others) should be considered in a context of long term impact and advantage to the University.
