[CAUT] Parts Mark up

[Willem Blees]

An ethical dilemma, or conflict of interest, occurs only when the tech is an employee and a vendor.? Most government institutions (e.g., state universities) and larger private institutions have regulations prohibiting or limiting this duality.? In such cases the tech should engage in supplying such parts only under a separate contract or purchase order within the applicable rules of the institution.? If in doubt about this, seek guidance from the purchasing department.

When?I was at UA, my job was to?tune the pianos at the SOM, period.?I was told specifically that all the other pianos on campus should be treated as private customers. This included the President's Mansion, the school's convention centers, the dorms,?radio station, etc.?

Was this an unusual situation, or is the common practice?

Dear Fellow CAUT"S


I was wondering what? you do regarding? parts mark up
for the institutions you work for.? This has always
been a fuzzy area for me.?? I'm not sure if we can
discuss this or not, but any input would be
appreciated.? Just want to be sure I'm doing the
equitable and ethical thing.
