Office chair for a backache? Sounds more like a painkiller purchase than a spot buy to me.

Redecoration over the weekend? Talk about a quick spot purchase! That's like buying a new outfit for a party the same day.

The grain shipload from Canada sounds the most like a classic spot purchase to me. Buying in bulk on the spot market, you know?

I'd say the office chair procurement is the least likely to be considered a spot purchase. It's a targeted, specific need, not a random transaction.

Definitely not the office cleaning contract. That's a long-term service agreement, not a one-time spot purchase.

I see your point, but I think C) Redecoration of the office over the weekend could also be considered a spot purchase because it's a one-time event done quickly.

I agree with Cory. A spot purchase is usually a one-time, immediate need, not a long-term contract like option B.
