ISI, through its Contract Services division, coordinates and administers material and service agreements on behalf of the member institution(s).

The types of agreements in place include: photocopiers, paper supplies, moving and relocation, courier services, stationery, and employee benefits. Using the combined purchasing power of the universities, substantial cost reductions are realized.

Through liaison with, and the consensus of, selection committees such as Purchasing Managers and Personnel Directors of the member universities, requirements are tendered, evaluated, and awarded to qualified vendors. A combination of the following factors is used to evaluate bids and award agreements: 

• conformance to specifications;
• supplier's ability to provide the required material or services in the manner required by the members;
• the supplier's previous record of performance; and/or
• competitive pricing, and the best value for the University dollar.

In addition, ISI acts as a clearinghouse for vendor and product information, specifications, and sourcing.
