Doing Business/Bids

  • Please notify once the registration has been completed so we can assign a vendor number.
  • The information for ICA’s is also found in the Strategic Sourcing web page:
  • A Completed ICA must be submitted to Gloria James in Strategic Sourcing before a vendor number can be assigned
  • The vendor invoices must adhere to our policy. Required information is also found on the ICA itself. I have listed the information below for your quick reference:
  • All questions regarding PO’s or ICA’s should be directed to
  • All questions regarding payments should be directed to
  • Payment Services is also moving toward ACH Direct Deposit as our source of payment rather than paper checks. I have attached the ACH Authorization Form that the vendor should complete in order to receive their payments directly deposited in to their bank account. They will receive an email notification each time funds are transferred. It actually looks just like a check with a remittal page, informing them of the Invoice Number(s) and Invoice Amount(s) that are being paid. The attached form should be completed and returned to
