While the University Purchasing Department is the sole purchasing authority for the university, cooperation between the requesting department and Purchasing is essential.
POLICY:
The acquisition of goods and services is a cooperative effort between the requesting department and purchasing department. Many of the steps involved in the process are the direct responsibility of the purchasing department or the requesting department; therefore, both departments have ownership of the outcome. Close cooperation is essential if the best results are to be obtained.
