About This Commodity
Landscaping equipment such as mowers, trimmers, turf vehicles, lawn tools, plants, fertilizers, ice melt, etc. should be purchased from a contracted supplier through Show Me Shop whenever possible. The University has the ability to access group purchasing cooperatives for some Landscaping and Grounds equipment. Contact the Strategic Sourcing Specialist listed for assistance.
Purchases outside of Show Me Shop 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.
Insurance requirements – Any supplier who is performing work on University property MUST have a current certificate of insurance on file with UM Procurement. Contact UM Procurement before proceeding with any of this type of work.
