Auxiliary Enterprise Defined

The College defines an auxiliary enterprise as one which provides a service to students, faculty, or staff and charges a fee directly related to, but not necessarily equal to, the cost of providing the service. These enterprises support the College's mission and conceptually should be self-supporting. Little or no revenue is obtained from general operating sources. The general public may be served in some auxiliary enterprises. 

Food Services and Catering

The catering office of the Food Services department is the preferred caterer for all campus functions. 

Procurement of Goods and Services for Resale

Auxiliary enterprises are authorized to purchase goods and services for the purpose of providing textbooks, instructional and course related materials, collegiate merchandise, and food related items for resale. The requirements of Article V.03 Procurement of Goods and Services do not apply to Auxiliary Enterprises when goods and services are procured for the purpose of resale. Materials not stipulated for the purposes of resale will be procured in compliance with Article V.03 Procurement of Goods and Services. 

Auxiliary Enterprises Procurement Guidelines and Procedures

Each separate entity of auxiliary enterprises (Bookstore and Food Services) will maintain appropriate guidelines and procurement procedures allowing for their unique departmental function and operation.
