Terms / Conditions


Legislation


Wisconsin Statute 16.75(3t)(c) defines state agency/campus requirements to purchase materials, supplies, equipment, or contractual services from prison industries when the Bureau of Correctional Enterprises (BCE) is able to provide comparable products at comparable prices. When using mandatory contract 505ENT-M15-BSIOFFURN-01 for the purchase of office furniture, each agency/campus must first offer BCE the opportunity to meet their needs by requesting a standard quote, or formal project bid. If BCE determines it cannot meet the agency/campus furniture specifications at comparable prices, then BCE will issue the requesting agency/campus a waiver to purchase some or all of the project from another vendor.


Sales Policy


The Bureau of Correctional Enterprises is limited by Wisconsin law to sell only to state and federal agencies, county and municipal facilities, non-profit organizations and selected private sector businesses. Restrictions on the sale of individual product lines may apply.
