This Policies and Procedures Manual has been prepared to provide information about the University’s purchasing requirements and Purchasing & Supply Services. Its various sections address the responsibilities of the Requisitioner, the Procurement Officer, and the Recipient of purchased products and services. The procedures also cover the use of i-Buy, Purchasing Card ($2500 limit) and Low Dollar Orders ($2500 limit), all decentralized systems for handling low-dollar purchases. i-Buy is an electronic marketplace that integrates with Purchasing & Supply Services’ e-Requisitioning System to provide an on-line shopping experience with selected NYU suppliers.

This Manual also provides information about the University’s and Purchasing & Supply Services’ Environmental Purchasing Policy and Environmental Philosophy and Practices. For more information about the University’s sustainability initiatives, visit http://www.nyu.edu/about/sustainability/.

From time to time procedures will be added and/or deleted, and others updated. You should also refer to the University’s Business Expense Policy located on the Controller’s Division website at http://www.nyu.edu/financial.services/cdv/ for details of NYU’s standard finance policies.

If you are connected to NYU-NET or NYU Home (Work Tab), you can connect to the Purchasing & Supply Services home page located at www.nyu.edu/purchasing.services. The Purchasing & Supply Services home page offers quick access to information including i-Buy, NYU Purchasing Policies and Procedures, Who’s Who, Key Programs, Key Suppliers, Frequently Asked Questions and much more.

Purchasing & Supply Services also publishes an electronic newsletter (Dollars & Sense) that focuses on announcing new agreements, new procedures, and other items of interest to the University Community.
