Diverse Supplier Request Form

The Diverse Supplier Request web form is now available with LSU A&M credentials. If you are unable to locate diverse suppliers in Workday or by other resources available on the Finding Diverse Suppliers Webpage, this form will route to the Supplier Diversity Office for assistance in locating Diverse Suppliers for procurement needs as outlined in the Procurement bidding procedures and Supplier Diversity FASOP: SDP-01.  

There is a 48-hour turnaround time for processing requests. Departments will be contacted as soon as possible should additional information be needed.

Term Contracts

The term contract renewal season is here. For a term contract with renewal options, Procurement Services will contact the Supplier (via Adobe Sign) requesting contract renewal. Upon the Supplier’s acceptance or rejection, the Procurement Buyer and Department Contact will be notified via Adobe Sign email. Supplier acceptance of renewal via Adobe Sign does not guarantee contract renewal; it is upon mutual acceptance by the Department. Follow the Term Contract Instructions to proceed. Note: A Term Contract Renewal Form (PUR105) will not be needed for contracts with renewal options.

For a term contract with NO renewal options, the department must promptly review, complete and return the Term Contract Renewal Form (PUR105) and follow the Term Contract Instructions. This form is required for Procurement Services to initiate the applicable procurement process. Failure to return this form with a requisition by April 29, 2022 may result in a contract lapse.

If a term contract is no longer needed, the Department should advise the appropriate buyer by email.
