CHM Purchasing - Over $5000
A Purchase Request must be submitted for all goods/services $5k and over. Each requisition (request for purchase) is unique and will require different forms. You will work through the process via your ticket after you have submitted your Purchase Request. Requisitions turn into Purchase Orders after they are approved.
Purchase Request Form
Services can not start and/or goods can not be ordered until a Purchase Order has been approved by University Purchasing Services and there is an active Purchase Order number.
As soon as you know you would like to purchase goods or services that are expected to exceed $5,000 the first step is to submit a Purchase Request
After you have submitted a purchase request, your ticket will be assigned to someone (Deb) who will walk you through the process which will depend on your needs, goods or services type, and the total expected purchase amount.
A purchase of goods/services should not be promised to any vendor by anyone at CHM prior to receiving approval through University Purchasing Services!
***Plan ahead. The entire process can take as long as 2-5 months! Sometimes longer than that!
