Notice of UND Procurement Opportunities
UND's solicitations are posted on State Procurement online system and UND's publicly available UND Marketplace bid portal found at this link: UND Solicitations
Suppliers who have not previously created a UND Marketplace/Jaggaer login should email the procurement officer listed on the solicitation or und.pps@und.edu to request an invitation to the sourcing event.
Suppliers who have an existing UND Marketplace/Jaggaer account should use that account to login through the UND portal to respond to UND's solicitations. Login/password issues for existing UND Marketplace/Jaggaer account holders are managed through the submission of a Jagger support ticket.
ND Secretary of State Registration
State law requires a person that has a registration requirement with the Office of the Secretary of State to be registered before the contract is awarded and the registration must remain active for the duration of the contract period.
Contract/Addendum to Terms
UND has standard contractual templates for the purchase of goods and services which should take precedence over vendor terms and conditions. UND is an institution of the State of North Dakota, as such there are State laws that need to be adhered to and at times may conflict with a vendor's terms and conditions.
Vendor Insurance Requirements
UND requires proof of insurance for services performed on campus in accordance with NDCC 32-12.2. In general, we require general liability limits of $2,000,000 and listed as additional insured. More information can be found at ND OMB.
