Purchase order request forms

The purchase order request form can be accessed by CSU staff in CougarNet under the Administrative section of the Forms channel.

Purchase requests must be completed before a product is ordered, unless you use your Visa card to make a purchase. All purchases under $200 must be made using the Visa card unless the vendor does not accept the card. If this is the case, please note that on the purchase request. Other purchasing guidelines:

• Under $1,000 — Use Visa Card unless vendor will not accept it
• $1,000-$4,999 — Use the purchase order request form. Bids are not required, but we recommend that you compare products and prices from at least three vendors before ordering. Visa cards can be used for purchases up to the cardholder's maximum single purchase limit. The same rules and regulations apply to credit card purchases as to purchase orders.
• $5,000-$9999 — Purchaser must obtain six bids, three of which should be from minority vendors. Bids must be offered on company letterhead and signed by the vendor. Telephone bids are not acceptable. Fax bids are acceptable.
• $10,000 and up — Business Services will request bids for orders over $10,000. These bids must be placed on the Georgia Procurement Registry. Please send exact specifications and the names of at least six to 10 suggested vendors. This process takes at least four to six weeks. Please plan ahead for purchases.
