E-Procurement and Construction Orders

Please be reminded that construction purchase orders are not exempt from the 1.75% NC E-Procurement transaction fee. Construction orders should be treated in the same manner as other orders where goods and services are separated on two different PO lines. However, if the project is turn-key construction, the total cost of the project should be listed on one line and marked as a service. When advertising informal or formal competitive solicitations, please be sure to include the NC E-Procurement Language. A copy of the NC E-Procurement Language can be found on the Division of Purchase and Contract website by using the following link: http://www.pandc.nc.gov/divforms.htm.
 
If a vendor has registered in Vendor Registration and accepted the NC E-Procurement Terms of Use, the vendor has agreed to pay the 1.75% transaction fee. Any additional questions about construction orders should be directed to the NC E-Procurement helpdesk at 888-211-7440, Option 1.
