Welcome to Procurement Services

Procurement may delegate its authority to individuals deemed qualified and responsible to make purchases according to the University's procurement procedures. Under the delegation-of-authority program, department staff are trained in the procurement requirements and are granted authority to make purchases for departments on behalf of Procurement Services. 

Employees who purchase goods and services, or are involved in the purchasing process for the University, shall be bound by the code of ethics.
