Standard business contract templates are intended for use when a purchase order would not be the most effective method to secure services from an individual or business entity.  If these templates are utilized without substantive change to the terms and conditions, the resulting contract will typically be executed by the signature authority within two days after submission to the Business Contracts Office. 

Standard Service Agreement under $15K

Used to secure short-term routine services, typically from individuals, with a value less than $15K.  Low dollar services from companies, organizations, or similar entities are usually secured through the purchase order process.
