• LSU Graphic Services

• State Contract Vendor

• State Printing & Forms Management

• Competitive quotes if the total cost over $500 up to $5,000

• Local or other Louisiana vendor if total cost $500 or less

Form and off-set printing specifications shall be included in the body of the requisition or on an attached sheet of paper. For items to be reprinted, (3) samples should be attached to the special State requisition form with any required changes marked. If the requisitioner should require a proof for review, a statement of "PROOF REQUIRED" shall be listed in the body of the specifications.

Each requisitioner is responsible to submit his or her request well in advance of the required need. If information to be included in the printed material will not be ready until prior to the need, the requisitioner should still submit the request and specifications for processing to establish the vendor to do the job. The following time guidelines should assist the requisitioner in requesting a realistic delivery date:
