La. Admin. Code tit. 34, § XIII-901 - Revenue Generating Contracts

A. Solicitations. Contracts or franchises by the university which will generate income or other significant benefit for the university and which will result in an exclusive right for the contracting party to provide goods or services, using university facilities, personnel or services shall be awarded by the use of an open competitive process which is approved by the CPO and the CFO or designee and consistent with management board policies. Such competitive process shall allow reasonable time for potential respondents to prepare responses given the nature and complexity of the responses solicited.

B. Exception to Competition. When it is determined by the CPO, with the written concurrence of the CFO or designee, consistent with established management board policies, that circumstances support the award of a revenue generating contract without competition, such a contract may be entered. Contracts by which services produced by the university are made available to entities outside the university need not be competitively awarded but shall be made on a basis that assures the recovery of costs associated with providing those services and a reasonable return to the university. Such contracts shall be structured in a manner which enhances opportunities for instruction, research, public service and other objectives of the university.
