IUP’s Purchasing Card program is designed to improve efficiency in purchases of $1,000 or less that are not available in SourcePoint.
The Purchasing Card is to be used for merchandise, not services. There are restrictions on the use of the card: for example, you cannot use the Purchasing Card to purchase gifts, food, or entertainment. Please refer to the IUP Purchasing Card Document for more details.
The Purchasing Card program will do the following:
- Reduce the use of departmental purchase requisitions and purchase orders in procuring appropriate items with a cost of $1,000 or less.
- Provide an additional avenue for procuring high-volume, low-dollar items.
- Allow cardholders the ability to initiate transactions by telephone, fax, or the internet, within the limits of this policy.
The Purchasing Card program is for official university purchases only.
