Effective 2/10/2025 all state funded purchases of $5,000 or more will require an additional VP approval prior to issuance of any purchase orders or contracts. Within Bengal Buy state funded requisitions will automatically be routed for VP approval in addition to the state account owner approval. There is no action needed by the campus as Bengal Buy uses electronic approvals.
Additionally, state funded purchases of $50,000 or more require completion and VP signature on a Strategic Sourcing Form. This form is to be completed online by the requester prior to any other actions being completed. This form will assist in gaining all necessary information and approvals first, in order to facilitate the most efficient and cost-effective process moving forward.
Please reach out to Kristy Mediak, Director of Accounts Payable & Procurement Services, with any questions.
