Material & Disbursement Services (MSD)
POLICY 28
Effective Date: 03/01/1998
Last Modified Date: 11/17/2003
Policy
All requests for printing services or photoduplicating work that are paid from University-administered funds, regardless of the source, must be referred to UNC Printing Services or one of its Campus Copy Centers. When contacting Printing, include a complete description of job requirements. If Printing is unable to do the work, they will contract with outside vendors for all requests under $10,000. All requests above this dollar threshold will be reviewed by Printing and referred to Purchasing Services for bid.
Procedure
Printing assigns a job order number to allow easy tracking of each request.
Off-Campus Design Services
Since State purchasing procedures consider design work as a separate item, when such services are contracted to an outside design services vendor, the actual printing/duplicating work must be competitively bid (by Printing or by Purchasing)to multiple printing services vendors, unless the printing/duplicating is done by Printing.
