About This Commodity

Departments who have regular small package shipping needs should establish an account with either UPS or FedEx.

Purchases less than $5,000 may be purchased using the University One Card. Purchases between $5,000 and $10,000 require a PeopleSoft Requisition. Purchases over $10,000 require competitive quotes, or written bid requests with detailed specifications prepared by UM Procurement.

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 Strategic Sourcing Specialist listed for assistance.

For international freight, refer to the Imports and Exports Information page.
