• As of January 1, 2011, the previous “lower” bid
threshold for LPCL contracting units without a QPA was eliminated and
set at $17,500. This did not effect PSCL Boards of Education.
• These bid and quote thresholds will be adjusted again on July
1, 2015.
• Current thresholds are based on 2-year and 5-year bidding threshold
calculations of the Department of the Treasury and reflected in Local
Finance Notice 2011-1. The Treasury calculations include specialized
purpose bid thresholds.
