Sourcewell in a line-item format. Equipment, Products, or Services may be added or removed
from the Hot List at any time through a Sourcewell Price and Product Change Form as defined
in Article 4 below.

clearly identified as such. Current ordering process and administrative fees apply. Hot List

access the Equipment, Products, or Services under this Contract. A Participating Entity’s
authority to access this Contract is determined through its cooperative purchasing, interlocal,
or joint powers laws. Any entity accessing benefits of this Contract will be considered a Service

Entity’s use of this Contract is at the Participating Entity’s sole convenience and Participating

Contract; however, order flow and procedure will be developed jointly between Sourcewell and

Contract must be issued prior to expiration of this Contract; however, Vendor performance,
Participating Entity payment, and any applicable warranty periods or other Vendor or
