Non-Allowable Purchases
The University's basic procurement objective is to secure the most appropriate materials, supplies, equipment, services, and construction at the lowest available price, consistent with quality requirements and delivery needs as will best promote the interests of the University. The general rule is that only necessary and reasonable business purchases are allowed and should be procured as economically as possible.
