Purchasing and Business Services Manual (PUR)

Effective: 1/1/1985

Revised:

PUR 201–01: Procurement Regulations

Purpose

To establish an overall university procurement policy and to define the regulations that govern procurement

Source

University policy

Applicability

All procurements made by the university regardless of the source of funds

Background

In general, expenditures are made from state appropriated, sponsored project, local, and agency funds. Some funds are more restrictive than others. Account representatives should be aware of these restrictions.

Policy

University procurements, regardless of funding source, will be made in accordance with applicable state statutes, federal regulations, Board of Regents’ policies, and university policies. Purchasing and Business Services will ensure policy compliance. The director of Purchasing and Business Services has the central responsibility for establishing procedures and guidelines that will assist users in complying with procurement policies.

The Arizona Board of Regents is exempt from the provisions of the Arizona Procurement Code. State law, however, requires the Board of Regents to adopt rules prescribing procurement policies and procedures that are substantially equivalent to those established for the state of Arizona.
