About this file
This is a Mandatory Waiver Request Form (DOC-2719) issued by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections' Bureau of Correctional Enterprises (BCE) for office furniture purchases under contract #505ENT-M15-BSIOFFURN-01. The document establishes the process for state agencies and campuses to request waivers when seeking to purchase office furniture from vendors other than the prison industries operated by BCE, as required by Wisconsin State Statute 16.75(3t)(c).
Under this mandatory contract arrangement, all Wisconsin state agencies and campuses must first contact BCE for office furniture needs before purchasing from external vendors. BCE provides quotes within 5 business days and issues waiver release numbers when they cannot meet specific requirements. The waiver request process requires agencies to submit project scopes, drawings, space plans, and specifications to BCE, along with detailed information about products, quantities, and project layouts. The form emphasizes that inadequate lead-time does not justify waiver requests and that agencies cannot proceed with purchases from other vendors until receiving a BCE waiver release number. This system prioritizes purchases from state prison industries while maintaining flexibility for specialized or unavailable items.

State of Wisconsin Department of CORRECTIONS DOC-2719 (Rev. 3/2022)
Bureau of CORRECTIONAL ENTERPRISES 3099 EAST WASHINGTON aVE PO Box 8990 Madison, WI 53704-8990 (608)240-5200 Fax (608)240-3321
MANDATORY WAIVER REQUEST
FOR OFFICE FURNITURE CONTRACT #505ENT-M15-BSIOFFURN-01
Purpose: Wisconsin State Statute 16.75(3t)(c) defines state agency requirements to purchase from prison industries when the Bureau of Correctional Enterprises (BCE) is able to meet product specifications and price on products which they offer. When using mandatory contract #505ENT-M15-BSIOFFURN-01 for the purchase of office furniture, each Agency/Campus must first contact BCE to meet their needs. If BCE determines that they cannot meet the Agency/Campus furniture needs, then BCE will issue the requesting Agency/Campus a waiver to purchase some or all of the project from another vendor.
NOTE: Failure to provide adequate lead-time to BCE does NOT justify a waiver request. All Agencies and Campuses must first submit the project scope, drawings, space plans, and specifications on the furniture requirements to BCE prior to seeking bids from another vendor. Any waiver request sent to BCE without first giving BCE the opportunity to formally bid or quote will not be granted, thus increasing the potential to cause a time delay for the customer.
BCE Waiver Agency/Campus shall not purchase the product(s) until a waiver release number is provided by the BCE Waiver Manager. Complete this form and send it to the following: BCEFurnitureWaiver@wisconsin.gov Agency/Campus and Work Unit:
