To ensure timely processing of your order, please submit your request to David Hernandez iSchool purchasing weeks in advance.
Order with a value of $15,000 or less can be purchased quickly. Please submit your request at least three to five business days in advance. Depending on the vendor, nature and value of the order, we will either use the departmental procurement card to acquire the goods or process a purchase order.
Order with a value of $15,000.01 to $50,000 requires that we solicit a minimum of three informal bids/quotes from at least one ethnic minority-owned business and one woman-owned business when available. Please submit your request at least five to ten business days in advance. Sole source/exclusive acquisition requests can be made. Allow additional time for final approval by UT Purchasing Office and for delivery.
Order with a value greater than $50,000 requires formal competitive bids/quotes solicited by the UT Purchasing Office. It takes several weeks to complete the formal bidding process, and issue a purchase order.

Prior approval through a Purchase Order, Business Contract, or Exempted Services Form is required for one-time, short-term, or sporadic services provided by an individual or unincorporated sole proprietor in any fiscal year. The nature, scope, and frequency of the services provided will determine if the individual providing the services will be treated as an independent contractor or a short-term casual employee.
Beginning September 1st, 2018, UT eliminated the APS/PBS form and standardized the process for Non-Employee Independent Contractor. As of now, services will either will require a purchase order (PO) or business contract (unless exempted from procurement justification process).
