Supplies/Equipment – Purchasing Policies and Procedures -Purchasing, Contracts and Auxiliary Services


Note: Supplies are considered items which are consumable and/or under $1000. Typically a supply item is not repaired and has a limited life span. Supply items purchased en mass as a unit (such as tools bundled in a tool box) that exceed $1000 would be considered an equipment purchase.

Individual items costing $1000 ($500 for computers) or more including freight, installation, and tax are considered equipment and must be inventoried as fixed assets.

It is highly recommended that inexpensive furniture or other items that require assembly not be purchased. A work order must be submitted to Facilities Services and delivery will be delayed substantially. Such inexpensive furniture is usually not designed for commercial use and will not hold up to daily use.

Any furniture or equipment which does not comply with district standards will require the prior approval of the appropriate vice president.

All business cards are ordered through the Purchasing, Contracts and Auxiliary Services Department. Standard quantity is 250. Submit a Business Card Request Form to Cynthia Banuelos in the Purchasing Office.
