Purchasing Office

The services provided by the Purchasing Office include assisting faculty and other staff with procurement details and ensuring adherence to TBR and state purchasing regulations.

College policy concerning financial commitments provides that no employee of the College has the authority to make any purchase commitment, enter into any contract for materials or supplies, or otherwise take action with respect to third parties which may be construed as financially binding to the College except through the usual channels under the authority of the Purchasing Office.

Purchases costing less than $500.00 and those items specifically exempt from processing through the purchasing office (see Exempt Commodities) can be purchased directly by departments. Departments should not circumvent this purchasing limit by having vendors split invoices, i.e. so that each individual invoice totals less than $500.00. Splitting invoices may result in a personal obligation for the order.
