Purchasing Methods

Purchasing Policy

It is the responsibility of Contract & Procurement Services, as a state agency, to process and convert a department's requests (requisitions) into purchase orders or contracts using procedures established by State law, California State University Trustee policy, and the President of the University through Trustee's issue delegation. A purchase order issued by the C&PS office is the only authority for a vendor to perform a service or deliver merchandise or equipment to the University. One exception is using your P-Card to purchase merchandise. Services are not allowed on the P-Card. Vendors are required to obtain authorization from C&PS prior to leaving equipment or other items on loan, sending out supplies on approval, or starting services.

Purchases not made in the prescribed manner are in direct violation of Trustee and University policy. Cal Poly faculty and staff are not authorized to commit University funds. Only CPSU Procurement Officers and University Administrators authorized in writing by CPSU President have the authority to sign purchase orders, contracts and interagency agreements, or otherwise bind the University. Please remember that it is illegal to willfully disregard any regulation pertaining to University purchasing authority, State contracting procedures, or bid requirements. Such purchases are the responsibility of the individual, not CPSU. The following actions DO NOT constitute commitment of University funds:

  • Department authorizing a vendor to provide a service or ship merchandise without an approved purchase order.
  • Department approving a purchase order, service order, or emergency request; signing any contractual agreement naming CPSU or its employees, officers, or agents as a party to the agreement including, but not limited to, license agreements, facility rental contracts, memoranda of understanding, maintenance agreements, and order forms
  • Departments picking up or accepting delivery of merchandise without an approved purchase order.
