Eastern Washington University under the guidance of the State Legislature, existing statutes, and Office of Financial Management is working with Washington State Correctional Industries (CI) to meet purchasing targets.

The bidding process applies when a single order exceeds $10,000 or if the annual dollars spent with a particular vendor for repetitive small purchases of similar commodities exceeds $10,000.
