  • DEPARTMENTAL PURCHASE ORDER (DPO) EXCEPTIONS
    The current DPO forms in circulation do not consistently reflect all exceptions to the $1,000 limit.  At the next printing of the form, all exceptions will be appropriately documented. In the meantime, the following represents the valid list of exceptions to the $1,000 limit:

    • Emergency repairs during non-business hours
    • Memberships, dues, registrations, and honoraria (i.e. association dues, speaker fees, game officials)
    • Advertising costs
    • Books, directories, and page reprints (non-classroom use)
    • Banquets or catered events by other than University Food Service operations
    • Purchases charged to a Banner revenue account (i.e. 507350)
       
  • All new vendors receiving formal purchase orders must complete a Vendor Application Form either before or at the time the first order is received. The Purchasing Department maintains the forms and responses.

    The registration process is necessary for the purpose of obtaining information about companies such as type of goods and services provided, number of years in business, order and "remit to" mailing address, minority business status, as well as to identify any known conflict of interests.

    Please contact the Purchasing Department with any questions at 775-2411.

     
  • The "Sole Source Purchase Justification" form is now available on the Purchasing Department web site. This form must be completed by the requisitioning department and submitted with requisitions for purchase orders in excess of $25,000.00 when only one vendor or supplier is known.
     
  • The "Payment Approval - Receiving Report Request" form is now available on the Purchasing Department web site. This form is required to be signed and faxed or mailed to the Accounts Payable Department when goods and services purchased on a purchase order physically will not be received by the Receiving Department.
     
  • University "Preferred" payment terms are 2% 20, net 30.  Please ask vendors what their payment terms are when placing orders on Departmental Purchase Orders; do not assume their terms are "'net".
     
  • Please contact the Purchasing Department whenever your area becomes aware of any upcoming major purchases (over $25,000).  Advance notice of such requirements will allow the Purchasing staff to provide assistance and advice which will help to expedite your pending purchase.
     
  • Printing Services is responsible for purchasing all promotional items under $25,000 with university funds. Please call 775-2117 for creative ideas and prices.
     
  • Toner Cartridge Purchases
