Purchasing

Welcome to the Purchasing Office Web Page. The Purchasing Office is located at 314 Smith Hall.

Purchasing policies and procedures are localed in Section 90000 of the Colleague Finance Departmental Manual.

The VMI Purchasing Office exists primarily to assist departments with the procurement of needed supplies, equipment, and services, and to ensure that these procurements are accomplished in accordance with Commonwealth of Virginia and Institute regulations. Employees must remember that the Purchasing Office holds the sole authority to authorize purchases and to financially obligate the institute. There are certain instances – such as with the Visa Card Small Purchases Charge Card (SPCC) where this authority is delegated to certain employees.

ALL purchases, regardless of dollar amount, must be authorized in advance by the Purchasing Office. This policy is to ensure compliance with Commonwealth of Virginia and Institute procurement regulations. (Purchases made by holders of the Visa Card Small Purchase Charge Card (SPCC) and charged to their card do not require prior authorization from the Purchasing Office. All purchases must be procured through eVA.)
