A blanket order, not one firm's contract

6 different vendors draw against this purchase order, so the $110K above is the whole order, not the spend of whichever vendor you arrived from. The City uses these for standing arrangements like outside counsel, library materials and expert witnesses. Per-vendor amounts are below.
