Purchasing and Payment Processing
View policy pdf: Competitive Specification Development Policy
All purchases made by the University should be based on competitive bidding whenever possible. Any purchase of $25,000 or more requires competitive bidding or justification for the lack of competition. The University may not split reasonably foreseeable or related purchases into two or more transactions for the purpose of circumventing this requirement.
