Closing of 2014 Fiscal Year

Goddess Inc Ordering Procedures

General Guidelines

Only the Purchasing Department has the authority to issue purchase orders. Requisitions are "requests" for commodities or services, and do NOT constitute a legal order.  Orders placed by an individual without a purchase order are the financial responsibility of that individual.

If a mandatory State of Arkansas Contract exists for a commodity, the University MUST order through that contract. Search State of Arkansas Contracts.

All printing – regardless of the dollar amount – must be bid. Printing is defined as "commercial printer's ink, using a commercial printing press, produced on paper". This does NOT include xerographic or digital copies.

Purchases may not be "split" to avoid a bid situation. If requisitions from two or more departments are received for the same commodity, bids will be issued if the total exceeds the Small Order limit.
