Standard Contract Language

Agencies should check this site each time they issue a bid, proposal, or contract to determine if there have been any changes to the standard contract language. Each item is noted with a "Revised" notation.

Two types of standard contract language are available here. The first is commonly referred to as "Standard Statements." These statements have been developed by the Department of Administration for use in bids, proposals, and contracts. Each statement is tailored to a specific circumstance and may not necessarily be required in every bid or proposal or in the contract language. We strongly encourage agencies issuing their own purchasing documents to take advantage of these prepared statements.

The second type of standard language is "Boilerplate." These are standard terms and conditions that should be included in every bid, proposal, purchase order or contract.

For more information or assistance with any standard contract language, please contact the State Procurement Bureau at (406) 444-2575.
