Mandatory Sources State Contracts, Dept. of Corrections, Virginia Distribution Center, Dept. of Visually Handicapped, DGS/DPS Office of Graphic Communications, and Dept. of Transportation are mandatory sources and must be used by our agency. Contact Materiel Management Office before ordering to check on these sources. The Materiel Management Office must request a release form prior to ordering from other sources. Terms Contracts Purchases from Other State Agencies or Non-Profit Sheltered Workshops Term contracts are established by DGS/DPS to obtain more favorable prices through volume purchasing and to reduce procurement lead time and administrative effort. In accordance with the terms and conditions, the University may issue purchase orders in any amount for any goods or services from that contract. If an item is available on state contract, the University cannot use its local purchasing authority to purchase from another source unless the purchase is exempt by contract terms such as not meeting the contract's minimum order requirement.
