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.
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.
A purchase of goods/services $5k or over should not be promised to any vendor by anyone at CHM prior to receiving approval through University Purchasing Services!
If you wish to make a purchase that is over $5k, please submit a Purchase Request
Obtain a quote from the vendor you wish to use.
Attach the quote you received to your Purchase Request.
***Plan ahead. The entire process can take as long as 2-5 months! Sometimes longer than that!
