(2 CFR section 200.318) Methods of procurement to be followed ? (b) (b) Procurement by small purchase procedures. Small purchase procedures are those relatively simple and informal procurement methods for securing services, supplies, or other property that do not cost more than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. If small purchase procedures are used, price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources. (2 CFR section 200.320) Harford County Public Schools' Purchasing Manual - Harford County Public Schools will comply with the Procurement Standards in the Uniform Guidance and Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR).

Condition/Context: One vendor purchase totaling over $3,500, out of six tested, was incurred without obtaining two or three quotes for comparison prior to the purchase, in accordance with the School System's purchasing manual.
