The Procurement & Supplier Payments Department proactively develops and negotiates contracts for the goods and services the University predominately uses. Procurement & Supplier Payments also administers the University credit card program and manages the single-use account (SUA), express mail, and University travel. It is our intention to be recognized as a leading environmentally preferable supply management organization.
Unprecedented Rate Increases
The Procurement & Supplier Payments has noted unprecedented rate increases across multiple commodity codes including but not limited to equipment, software, office supplies, capital-related purchases, travel, hotel, airlines, car rentals, on-campus events, food purchases, and other items. Please note the Procurement & Supplier Payments continues to strive to negotiate the best rates for the University, however, given the unprecedented increase in inflation, our negotiations are not yielding rates the University once had. We ask that you plan accordingly and contact the Office of Budget and Planning regarding any unfunded emergency purchases for evaluation and consideration.
