Departments are responsible for obtaining and submitting quotes as documentation supporting all purchases by Requisition, iContract, Purchasing Card, or Direct Pay. Quotes from different suppliers must be equal in scope, that is, different quotes must equally provide sufficient details for goods/services needed and delivery specifications. Procurement Services has the right to obtain additional quotes if it is determined to be in the best interest of the University.
All Purchase Orders issued must follow the above regulations for competitive quotes and solicitation thresholds. It is the department’s responsibility to manage PO spend and to submit any required change orders in a timely fashion, if required. Changes that exceed competitive quote or solicitation requirements will require acceptable justification.
