Best Judgement Purchases

In 1999 Purchasing Services revised the low dollar policy to delegate purchases at $5,000 or less directly to departments. Prior to issuing a purchase order, Purchasing Services will do a simple review of the requisition to ensure all necessary information and/or attachments are present, and that the vendor selected and contract number referenced, if applicable, are correct.

To initiate a purchase under $5000, which does not require special approvals, follow any of the methods outlined in the Can I Buy it Myself or Do I Need Purchasing Involvement? tutorial.

Please contact Purchasing Services with any questions.
