Procurement FAQs

What is Procurement? 

Procurement is the act of obtaining or buying goods and services. The process is most frequently handled on a competitive basis and includes preparation and processing of a purchasing need as well as the end receipt and approval of payment. It often involves planning, standards determination, specifications development, supplier research and selection, value analysis, financing, price negotiation, contract administration, inventory control and disposals. 

What is eProcurement? 

Eprocurement is electronic procurement and it is the process whereby items are selected from an online electronic catalog and added to a cart. The buyer then adds the appropriate budget account, delivery address and delivery instructions (if applicable), and clicks 鈥淪ubmit.鈥�  If the budget check and financial approvals are handled successfully within system workflow, a purchase order is generated and sent electronically to the supplier.  Invoicing is often automated as well.  HoundMart is 澳门六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 eProcurement solution.

How are laptop and technology purchases handled? 

All technology purchases over $100 must go through the Office of Technology Services (OTS).  OTS has a standard configuration Apple, laptop and PC desktop that is provided to users, and will also provide a docking station.  Any other accessories, including monitors, must be funded out of departmental funds.  In cases where the standard configuration does not meet the needs of the end user, OTS will work with them to identify a computer that meets both their needs and 澳门六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 security and support requirements.  All purchases must be made through OTS.  OTS will fund up to $1,200 for such a computer, and the department is required to fund any additional costs.  

Employees are not permitted to make technology purchases on their 澳门六合彩开奖记录 procurement cards, on personal cards with the expectation of reimbursement, or through HoundMart, without consulting with OTS first.   Devices purchased outside of this policy will not be supported by OTS and may not get access to certain 澳门六合彩开奖记录 resources.

Please also check with Jay prior to placing any orders for specialty paper and/or card stock since the Mail Room might already have it in stock. There is no charge for standard copy paper for departments on managed print. Delivery is limited to a maximum of 5 cases per delivery. There is a nominal charge for specialty paper and cardstock.   

How would I order a water cooler for my department? 

In the interest of efficiency and sustainability, there is a campus wide effort to move away from water coolers and towards water filling stations.
