Purchasing Guidelines


To initiate a purchase, please submit a completed purchase request including signatures to the CSR purchasing office (Peggy Peterson). If an order is of Priority status, the purchase request form must have a realistic need by date section completed.

The delivery date is dependent on two major items, CSR lead-time and the vendor. "Lead time" is a term used to indicate the time elapse between the creation of an order and its arrival at the vendor. This time varies as noted below. You should use the lead time elapse information when planning purchases.

Purchase Request Lead Time Notes
$0 - $1,0003-5 business days
$1,000 - $5,00010 business days
$5,000 - $25,000*15 business days3 phone quotes required
> $25,000*25 business days
*Sole source purchases require special procedures. Consult with the purchasing officer.

Once the vendor has received the purchase request the delivery date is dependent on the vendor terms and availability.
