Livestock Purchases

ALL livestock purchases must be approved by UM Procurement in advance. The requesting department must provide the following information for review and approval prior to the purchase:

1. Complete name, address and phone number of the vendor or individual.
2. A detailed justification for purchasing the livestock from the respective vendor or individual.
3. Proof that the price to be paid is a fair market value (example: market survey notices). If circumstances or livestock requirements are such that the price is higher than the fair market value, an explanation must be provided.

Upon approval by UM Procurement a Requisition should be entered into PeopleSoft.  Contact the Sourcing Contact listed for additional information.
