Purchasing & Shipping

The following provides guidance on processing University of Arizona purchases in accordance with U.S. Export Regulations. Contact Export Control with any questions. The purchaser should take the following steps:

P-Card Purchases

Purchases of equipment, tooling, or services in an amount less than $10,000 are generally made using University P-Cards. P-card purchases can be made by department personnel (purchaser). P-card purchases do not require prior review by Procurement and Contracting Services (PACS). 

Requisition Purchases

Purchases of equipment, tooling, or services in an amount greater than $10,000 require the department personnel (purchaser) to submit a requisition form to the PACS office. In addition to the requisition form, purchasers are required to provide three supplier sources. If only one source is available, a Sole Source Verification Form must be submitted.

Shipping & Receiving

Export Control should be notified before the export of any items outside the U.S. Items may not be shipped abroad until a determination has been made as to whether an export license is required.
