All procurement on behalf of the college shall be executed in accordance with the requirements of ORS 279A, ORS 279B and ORS 279C, the Oregon Community College Rules of Procurement ("CCRP"), OAR 125, and Lane Community College online Policies and Procedures.

Where federal procurement regulations apply and are more restrictive than the state regulations, the federal regulations shall prevail.

Pursuant to ORS 279A.065(5), the Oregon Attorney General's Model Rules (OAR 137) do not apply to Lane Community College except those portions of the Oregon Attorney General's Model Rules that have been expressly identified in Section 300, Appendix A, of the CCRP.

The CCRP shall prevail over the provisions in OAR 125 and where topics are not addressed in the CCRP, the rules of OAR 125 shall remain in force.

Note: This policy replaces retired Board Policy 285 (last reviewed June 7, 2023). The language has been adopted without change and renumbered to align with the four-digit policy structure.

Board Policies are adopted by the Lane Community College Board of Education and establish the College’s governing principles and institutional direction. These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
