Bonneville Purchasing Instructions Manual

The Bonneville Purchasing Instructions (BPI) draw on the best purchasing techniques available from both government and commercial sources. It provides for a "best buy" purchasing process which considers quality, timeliness of delivery, quantity, and total costs, including administrative costs. Primary coordination point for this information is Nancy Faber at (503) 230-7414. All comments, additions, or corrections are welcome.
