Procurement & Payment Services

Procurement & Payment Services is a customer first resource and the single point of contact for all centralized procurement and payment activities for the University.

Our goal is to identify and implement innovative purchasing and payment practices to better support the needs of the University while adhering to the highest ethical values in the purchase, receipt, and payment of goods and services.

We are responsible for soliciting, contracting and issuing orders for goods and services, as well as overseeing the purchasing card program and performing disbursement functions for all approved expenses for goods, services and reimbursements. We at PPS strive to provide excellent customer service, maintain resourceful practices that follow the state and federal laws, and maintain and expand vendor relations that enable competitive and diversified vendor sources that will provide the best value to the University. Our ultimate goal is to provide professional and courteous service to our internal and external customers while remaining in compliance with University policies and federal and state requirements.
