The KPC Procurement Department is responsible for the acquisition of all goods and services used by KPC and is committed to providing prompt, courteous, and cost efficient service. Since most University spending involves public funds, our purchases are subject to strict guidelines and close public scrutiny.

KPC utilizes a centralized purchasing system, with authority delegated to specific individuals. All KPC funds, except for payroll, must be expended through the Purchasing Office and in accordance with state and federal laws and University regulations.
Purchasing approval must be obtained PRIOR to creating a commitment to pay. Purchases made prior to receiving an approved Purchase Order are unauthorized and may become the financial responsibility of the individual who made the purchase.

Petty Cash Purchases (less than $100.00).
Purchases less than $100.00 may be made with petty cash. Reimbursement for these expenditures require prior department head approval and are subject to review by the Purchasing Dept. Employees seeking reimbursement through petty cash will not be reimbursed for sales tax. A copy of our Sales Tax Exempt Card can be obtained from the Purchasing Dept prior to making the purchase.

Purchases less than $5,000.00.
Purchases less than $5,000.00 are coordinated through the KPC Purchasing Department. The process is initiated by submitting a Purchase Requisition (PR) form to the Purchasing Department. The PR form is an internal document only and does not constitute purchasing approval. If the request is approved, the Purchasing Dept will issue a Purchase Order (PO). Please contact your department secretary or the Purchasing department if you need assistance obtaining or completing a PR form. Normal turnaround time is three business days for this type of purchase

Purchases over $5,000.00
Purchases over $5,000.00 require formal competition (quotes, bids or proposals) and must be coordinated through the Purchasing Department. All formal requests for quotations, bids and proposals will be solicited by the Purchasing Department. Turnaround time depends on the complexity and dollar value of the purchase.

Credit Card Purchases
The KPC purchasing department has a University issued credit card to accommodate situations where a credit card is the only viable means of procurement. Check with the Purchasing Department if you have a need for this service.
