Information

About This Commodity

The University has contracts with various companies to provide Language Services such as Interpreter, Translator, and Hearing Impaired.

When using a contracted provider, the One Card can be used for payments up to $5,000. Purchases over $5,000  require a PeopleSoft non-catalog requisition.

If not using a contracted supplier, purchases between $5,000 and $10,000 require a PeopleSoft non-catalog 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 from the same supplier, 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.

Further Assistance

Does the supplier require an agreement to be signed or require acceptance of their Terms and Conditions?

YES - If the cost of the purchase is over $5,000, submit a PeopleSoft Non-Catalog Requisition and attach all agreements, proposals, and/or quotes for review.  If less than $5,000 and paying via OneCard, send agreement via email to Sourcing Contact for processing PRIOR to acquisition of items or service.

NO - If the cost of purchase is under $5,000, submit a PeopleSoft Non-Catalog Requisition.  If less than $5,000 pay via OneCard.
