Purchase orders

Example POs

Form A is required for any purchases that cost >$100k, regardless of funding source: File:Form A - Sole Source.pdf

Form B (File:Form B - Dept Source Selection.pdf) is required when:

• The item is being purchased with federal (as opposed to gift) funds

AND

• price > $3000 (including tax, installation, shipping, etc.)

You still have to fill the high-value purchase order form for cost >$2500: File:HPOUpdated.PDF

Otherwise, use the low-value purchase order form: File:LPOUpdated.PDF

Lab recharge spending

The UC defines "equipment" as things costing >$5000 (including tax) or having a useful life more than 1 year. Equipment cannot be purchased under lab recharge (even if it is replacing equipment that is broken). Repairs can be purchased under lab recharge (see Molly or Ben before trying to do this). Lab supplies (fiber cleaning tape, wipes, solvents) can also be purchased using lab funds.
