Information

About This Commodity

Musical equipment and supplies generally purchased for a School of Music Department such as instruments, uniforms, and music. 

Payment Methods

  • If the purchase is less than $5000, the University OneCard can be used. 
  • If the cost is over $5,000 a PeopleSoft Non-Catalog requisition must be entered and a purchase order processed by UM Procurement. 
  • If the anticipated amount of the order is between $10,000 and $100,000 departments can contact the Sourcing Contact for assistance, or request pricing from three (3) or more suppliers.  The quotes should then be attached to the requisition and reviewed by UM Procurement who will process a purchase order to the supplier with the best overall value. 
  • Purchases over $100,000 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. 
  • 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 appropriate Sourcing Contact for assistance.
  • If there will be multiple purchases made over a period of time, a blanket purchase order should be requested. 
  • When a University purchase order is issued, invoices with the PO# clearly notated should be sent to Accounts Payable for processing.
