Payment cycles run Net-45 by default; expedite via NYC PayNow with a 2% early-pay discount on approved invoices.
Sole Source
Fayetteville State University (NC). No specific sole source dollar threshold provided; the university has an extremely low $5,000 competitive bidding threshold, creating friction for direct awards. Due to a 2021 audit citing non-compliance and lack of transparency with sole source contracts, treat sole source as high-risk/low-probability. Practical guidance: redirect requests to cooperative or state master contracts for a compliant and transparent purchase.
