It's unlikely that a single trip where a $50 difference was a significant thing would be above the threshold where a call for bids is required. However, it's possible that the university periodically bids a contract for a travel agent that is used for university travel for some duration.

@reirab Our (public administration but not a university) threshold is 500 € from which on we need to collect comparative offers. But for most most run-of-the-mill travel we have two internal and an external travel agency (that had been tendered) which need to be used.

@reirab where I live, it's not about how much single item costs. Rather, all items of such type over a period of time (year or term of office) are treated as one to test if it was legal to order them without call for tenders. So it's not about $50. It's about way much higher amount of money.

"Call for tender" brings to mind submitting a request to several different travel agents and then collecting their bids.
