Q: |
My department is considering providing services to an outside party for compensation. I know that if it were a sponsored project, I would go through Sponsored Projects Administration. However, these services do not involve sponsored research, and they appear to constitute an external sale. Where should I go for help?

A: |
Refer to the External Sales Policy on the Web. In addition, you may contact the Office of External Sales at 612-625-2415. Standard contracts on the Web include Departmental Services Agreement, Technical Testing Agreement, Agreement for Lease of Equipment, Agreement for Sale of Equipment, and Consulting Agreement. These form agreements are user-friendly and are preapproved by the Office of the General Counsel if used without changes. Even if these contracts are used, you should still consult with the External Sales Office to ensure appropriate coverage of risk management, tax, and related issues.
