(A)
Under section
125.081 of the Revised Code and
accompanying administrative regulations, fifteen per cent of the annual total
aggregate purchases of goods and services are to be set aside for bidding only
to MBEs. The cooperation of all departments is required and expected in support

(B)
The senior vice
president for business affairs and finance or designee (SVPBAF) may override
the lowest cost quote or bid in favor of selecting the MBE vendor if the SVPBAF
determines that the university is falling short of its fifteen percent MBE
spend The procedural override is allowed if selecting the MBE assists in the
university meeting the state of Ohio set-aside requirement.
