Purchasing Services would greatly appreciate your assistance when submitting requests for contracts and purchase orders as we are prioritizing and focusing our resources and attention on critical and high-risk purchases. The following are some ways to ensure that your contracts and orders are quickly executed on the first submission, without a need to either return or request additional information or supporting documentation:
- Use of the checklists for requisitions and contracts;
- Submission of well written scopes of service for contracts;
- Properly submitted Directed or Sole Source Justification forms using the most recent version;
- Certificates of Liability Insurance evidencing the required insurance and amounts; and
- Finally, if you have a request that may be of a lower dollar value but that you believe may need careful or special attention, then please be sure to note the concern in the comments accompanying the request.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance as the University works through these challenging times.
