| The Office of
Administrative Services provides guidance to the campus with the
Institute's purchasing system. Rose-Hulman operates a system of
decentralized purchasing in which each department/unit is authorized
to purchase goods and services on behalf of the Institution.
Policies and Procedures
Purchasing policies and procedures have been
established to ensure sound, consistent, purchasing practices for cost effective
buying while adhering to external funding source requirements for bidding,
documentation and reporting.
Employees of Rose-Hulman are encouraged to read
the
Purchasing Guide to assist them in understanding the purchasing policies and procedures used by
the Institute when acquiring supplies, equipment, and contractual services.
Departmental budget managers are authorized to
procure equipment, supplies, and services in amounts less than $2,500 (excluding
freight) without issuing a Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Purchase Order.
In addition, there are other specific commodities and services exceeding the
$2,500 scope limit that may also be purchased without issuing a RHIT Purchase
Order.
ALL OTHER purchases of $500 or more MUST be
made on a Rose-Hulman electronic Purchase Order to be a valid obligation of the
Institute.
