CEE Purchase Orders

In order to purchase items from an outside vendor complete a CEE Purchase Order request form.

LVPO (Low Value Purchase Order)

The current purchase limit for a LVPO is $2,500. Purchase order requests that total over $2,500 must be processed by the Procurement and Business Contracts (Purchasing Department).

The university maintains contracts with a number of outside vendors that allow departments to purchase services and supplies above the $2,500 limit on a LVPO. To see the current list of vendor agreements visit http://www.ucop.edu/matmgt/ppp/

Please make sure you complete the CEE Purchase Order request form fully. Partially completed forms could result in a processing delay.

Once you have completed the CEE Purchase Order request form forward it Dee Korbel at korbel@ce.

PLEASE ALLOW A MINIMUM OF ONE BUSINESS DAY TURN AROUND FOR YOUR LVPO REQUEST.

Purchase Requisition

For services and merchandise totaling above $2,500, a purchase requisition will be necessary. Complete a CEE Purchase Order request form and forward to Dee Korbel at korbel@ce.

If you are requiring the purchase be made from a specific vendor you will need to provide a sole source letter. For a complete description of what a sole source letter is and what the justifications are:

1. Visit the PBC website. http://www.ucop.edu/purchserv/access.php
2. Scroll down to SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT.

Once the requisition is entered in to the BFS system and the forms are faxed to PBC.

Depending on the backlog in the PBC it could take up to two weeks for a vendor to receive a copy of the purchase order that results from the requisition.
