Purchasing Card Commodity & Supplier Restrictions

The Purchasing Card is the authorized buying method for low dollar one time purchases from external suppliers. All authorized Cardholders must utilize their purchasing card in accordance with Financial Policy #2303 - Use of a Purchasing Card and the BEN Financials Commodity Matrix. At no time is an authorized Cardholder to use their Purchasing or Fleet Fuel Card for a personal purchase.

Purchasing Services conducts random Purchasing Card activity audits to ensure compliance with the program commodity and supplier restrictions listed below. Cardholders violating Purchasing Card commodity and supplier restrictions will be contacted and their School or Center senior financial officer will also be notified when appropriate.

Please direct questions regarding the Purchasing Card commodity and supplier restrictions to Ralph Maier in Purchasing Services.
