Professional/Technical Services Contract Evaluations Required for Professional Service Contracts in Excess of $50,000

Minnesota Statutes 16C.08, subd. 4(c), requires that upon completion of a contract over $50,000, agencies submit a one-page report, summarizing the purpose of the contract, stating the amount spent on the contract, and including a written performance evaluation of the work done under the contract. This page allows interested parties the option to search all contract evaluations by agency or by vendor.

Evaluations received by the Materials Management Division since March 1, 2009, have been posted on this web page, which will be updated weekly. Evaluations submitted prior to March 1, 2009, are available for review at the Legislative Reference Library.

Food service at college campuses and across the industry needs to change, and if that change is going to take place, it's going to be because of student activism and involvement.
