About This Commodity

Audio equipment, video (consumer & broadcast) equipment, and related media services should be purchased from a contracted supplier in Show Me Shop whenever possible.  Purchases outside of Show Me Shop and less than $5,000 may be purchased using the University One Card with prior approval. Purchases between $5,000 and $10,000 require a PeopleSoft Requisition.
