Supplier Quotation Forms
To avoid procurement delays, departments should advise suppliers of the following minimal requirements for a valid and acceptable quotation:
- Quotations must be signed.
- Prices must be quoted F.O.B. º£½ÇÉçÇø/Destination; i.e. title does not pass to º£½ÇÉçÇø until
receipt and unit prices quoted inclusive of freight. Quotes stating F.O.B. Origin/Shipping Point and/or Freight Collect are not acceptable.
- If freight is quoted separately and not included in the unit prices, it must be quoted as a definitive or ‘not to exceed’ amount. Estimated freight charges to be prepaid and added to the invoice are not acceptable.
- Payment terms must be at least Net 30 days from date of invoice, or from º£½ÇÉçÇø receipt and acceptance, whichever is later. Supplier payment terms requiring advance payments (partial or full), C.O.D., or less than 30 days are not acceptable. Prompt payment discount terms (e.g. 2%/10 Days/Net 30) are acceptable.
- The º£½ÇÉçÇø purchase must be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana. Governing laws of another state are not acceptable.
