o All vendors with annual spend ≥$500,000 and/or for multi-year Exhibits. For
vendors with annual spend <$500,000, pricing submitted via the CPS by vendor
and approved by CM is sufficient as the formal offer and acceptance document.
 Contract Guidelines and Contract Review Notice documents are also required for:

o New and existing Exhibits ≥$500,000 and/or for multi-year Exhibits (ie – if you
have a vendor with spend ≥$500,000, but your specific Exhibit with them is
<$500,000, you do NOT need CRN and Contract Guidelines)
o Volume commitments greater than 6 months supply
o All pricing extended more than 90 consecutive days for Exhibits ≥ $500,000
