PUR – 23.00

POLICY APPLICABILITY

This policy applies to University Administrators, Faculty, and Staff.

REASON FOR POLICY

The university benefits by having a more efficient, cost-effective method of purchasing and payment for small dollar transactions.  

POLICY STATEMENT

The Procurement Card Program has been established as a service to campus departments though PNC Bank and the UofL Procurement Services. This program allows departments the opportunity to use a University credit card to purchase certain goods.  

RELATED INFORMATION

The program complements the existing purchasing and payment process. Use of the card will not replace current travel or competitive bid regulations, nor will it allow departments to bypass Procurement policies and procedures. (All purchases under $4,500 should be placed using the university credit card. Exceptions to this include vendors that do not accept the credit card or charge a fee for processing credit card transactions.)
