Bookstore & Computer Store Purchases

If an item is listed in the Central Stores Catalog, it should be purchased from the Central Stores operation. However, at times, it may be necessary to use the campus bookstore or the Computer Store to obtain an item quickly. To purchase items from the bookstore or the Computer Store, these guidelines should be followed:

1. Items under $250 not listed in the Central Stores Catalog:
   
   A State/IFR purchase requisition (white and yellow copies) should be submitted to the campus bookstore or the Computer Store with the appropriate departmental authorization (signatures). The original requisitions and invoices will be sent directly to the Accounting Office by the bookstore or the Computer Store. The Accounting Office will then issue payment.
   
   
2. Items over $250 not listed in the Central Stores Catalog:
   
   A State/IFR purchase requisition should be submitted to Purchasing noting that the items can be obtained from the campus bookstore. Purchasing staff will determine the vendor based on usual procedures, including the bookstore among the vendors considered.
