The University awarded a contract for Cooperative Library Material Purchase to JSTOR, Ann Arbor, MI, for an estimated $450,000.

State institutions of Higher Education require the purchase of learning, teaching and research related subscriptions, periodicals, archival and related items that coincide with objectives developed by university departments and their professors. This need will be for an indefinite quantity based upon actual university need. The estimated value represents a forecast based upon prior fiscal year expenditures with said vendor mentioned above.

The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the item or service is copyrighted or patented and is not available except from the holder of the copyright or patent.
