Organization

Procurement Services reports to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Vice President of Financial Operations of the University.  University Accounting, Grants Accounting, Accounts Payable, the Budget and Planning Office, and Student Financial Services office also report to the University CFO.

Procurement Services supports all departments and programs on campus and works closely with the other departments in the Financial Operations Division.  This includes an especially strong relationship with Accounts Payable (AP), as Procurement and AP are the component units in the campus Procure-to-Pay (P2P) functionality. 

Procurement Services has an equally important relationship with the University’s Legal department, as the campus Legal team reviews and approves proposed contracts specific to purchasing business, and Procurement Services assists with routing purchasing contracts approved by the Legal team for appropriate University signatures.
