A standard Purchase Order (PO) should be issued prior to all purchases. If an item or service is needed due to an emergency, a PO can be issued via phone by the Purchasing Department.

Maintenance personnel may be authorized to issue emergency purchase orders, known as "M" orders for repair parts, usually under $ 250.00 in value. The Director of Support Services or designee is authorized to issue "M" orders for emergency repair material if the amount is under $ 500.00.

A PO or contract for maintenance work exceeding $25,000 may be issued only after receiving sealed bids.
