Section 192-4-011 - Vendor Solicitation Policy011.01. The intent of the Vendor Solicitation Policy is to make sure that the State of Nebraska is not endorsing or appearing to endorse or assist a vendor in selling or promoting his/her product or service.011.02. For the purpose of this policy, a "vendor" is a person, group of people, or organization (whether profit or nonprofit) selling or promoting a product or service for personal use by the employee. These persons who are selling or promoting this product or service shall not contact individual employees during work hours. This does not apply to a vendor selling items to be used in state business (i.e. computers, office equipment, or consultants), who may contact the agency.011.03. Only "state sponsored" vendors that have been selected by the state to provide a product or service to employees will be allowed to use state time and property to distribute information. This type of solicitation will be coordinated through the DAS State Personnel Division. The securing of a payroll deduction through the DAS Accounting Division does not mean a vendor is state sponsored.192 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 4, § 011
