- Purchases not available through Show Me Shop and less than $5,000 may be purchased using the University One Card.
- If you will be making several small purchases, and the total amount will exceed $10,000 in a 12 month period, a competitively bid contract may be appropriate. Contact the appropriate Sourcing Contact for assistance.
- The University has the ability to access group purchasing cooperatives for some items. Before making a final decision, contact the Strategic Sourcing Specialist listed for assistance.
- If purchasing from a contracted supplier, bids and sole source justification are not required.
- Purchases over $10,000 and NOT from a contracted supplier, will require competitive bidding with detailed specifications prepared by UM Procurement. Submit a PeopleSoft non-catalog Requisition and attach specifications, or contact the Strategic Sourcing Specialist listed for assistance.
