Purchasing and Computer Business Services
Our mission is to procure goods and services for our University community customers in a timely, cost-effective, and efficient manner. Wherever possible, Purchasing and Computer Business Services endeavors to add value to the procurement process by negotiating with vendors, consolidating purchases to attain volume discounts and by identifying and choosing alternative, qualified suppliers. Once your order is received, the final payment process is completed in the Accounts Payable Department where properly authorized invoices and receivers are processed for payment to vendors.
Our goal is to provide exceptional service to our customers in the University community. The Purchasing and Computer Business Services staff is happy to work with you to review and discuss your purchasing requirements. Our office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
