How do I use these ODE Agreements?

It's simple!

1. Fill out the Price Agreement Contract Template (Ordering Instrument) using info from the above order guide (applicable school year). Here's a completed sample filled out in case you need help. Alternately, complete a Purchase Order (PO) and reference the price agreement. 
   
2. Make sure you are meeting processor delivery minimums in the order guide column X and have checked delivery terms in column V.
   
3. Double check you diverted pounds to the applicable processor or have reached out to ODE about surplus state account pounds.
   
4. Send the contract template to the processor/broker contacts listed in the order guide, far right column AB.
