“Non-personal
services” means the furnishing of labor, time, or effort
by a contractor, not involving delivery of a specific
end product other than reports which are merely
incidental to the required performance. Examples might
include travel agents, photographer, janitorial or
window washer. It does not include employment
agreements. Non-personal services can be performed by
"professionals", however for procurement purposes, they
are distinguished based on both the intellectual aspects
and delivery of a final product. For example, a
consultant is a professional service provider and a
travel agent is not.
Non-personal Services
Contracts are used primarily for non-personal services
greater than $5,000 total dollar value.
If under $5,000 total
dollar value a Short Form Contract for Miscellaneous
Services may be more appropriate according to risk and
other factors inherent in the nature of the services.
See on on website Purchasing Policies and Procedures on
Short Form Contract for Miscellaneous Services.
Contact a University
procurement officer if you have any question about
non-personal services contracts or need a non-personal
services contract issued.
