BidPulsar Analysis
A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.
This notice from Iowa State University Procurement is not a procurement for goods/services; it is an internal recognition program to acknowledge Procurement Services employees. The description outlines two recognition paths: a quick “Recognition of Outstanding Service” via a short webform, and a nomination for a “Procurement Services’ Key Contributor Award.” It also references a separate “Procurement and Expense Specialist (PES) Excellence Award,” limited to PES staff and evaluated against pillars such as taking initiative and providing excellent service. Because no solicitation number, deadline, NAICS/PSC, or performance scope is provided, this should be treated as an informational posting rather than a bid opportunity.
Enable stakeholders to recognize Iowa State University Procurement Services employees either through (1) a short webform “Recognition of Outstanding Service” shout-out/thank you, or (2) formal award nominations for “Key Contributor Award” (and a separate PES Excellence Award for Procurement and Expense Specialists).
- Determine which recognition path applies: Recognition of Outstanding Service vs. Key Contributor Award nomination (or PES Excellence Award if nominating a Procurement and Expense Specialist).
- Complete the applicable short webform/nomination form with details of the employee’s actions (e.g., exceeded expectations, timely response, ownership of a challenge, positive interaction).
- For award nominations, document specific impacts aligned to the stated criteria (process/procedure improvement, complex project/problem solving, professional development, innovative ideas, job excellence; for PES: initiative, assisting colleagues, excellent service, holistic approach, relationship building).
- Submit recognition/nomination through the provided web mechanism (one attachment appears to be an Adobe e-sign widget link).
- If submitting recognition: completed “Recognition of Outstanding Service” short webform with a clear description of the outstanding service behaviors cited in the notice.
- If submitting award nomination: completed nomination submission capturing criteria described for the Key Contributor Award (or PES Excellence Award if nominating a Procurement and Expense Specialist).
- Supporting narrative/examples: specific outcomes such as process improvement, complex project contribution, innovative ideas, or service excellence aligned to the program criteria.
