Finance Division

Logistics plays a key role in the management of the University’s Service and Maintenance Contracts, Storeroom Operations, Central Receiving and Deliveries, Asset Management and Surplus Property. We recognize that as a customer service support organization we have the responsibility as well as the pleasure of assisting each University, college, school, division, and service unit in procuring service and maintenance contracts, properly ordering supplies through the storerooms, timely delivery of your purchases, accurately tracking your assets up to and including the disposal of all University owned property and equipment. We fully recognize our primary function is support for you, the customer. We are always only a phone call or email away for any assistance you might need.

Because of the size of the University the function of purchasing items costing $5,000 or less has been decentralized. This means that individual units can purchase from the vendor of their choosing within the guidelines of the State Office of Purchase and Contract. Remember that any contract or agreement that a vendor provides is to be reviewed and signed by the departmental representative who is most familiar with the service/maintenance required prior to the documents being forwarded to us for review and endorsement that it meets all of the legal requirements of the State and the University.

Logistics provides instruction related to the correct use of bid documents such as the Request for Quotes (RFQ), Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP) and the Request for Information (RFI). We are continually developing new processes to streamline our services thereby making procurement more efficient and effective. The new processes are designed to be user-friendly and to assist our customers in effectively performing their day to day tasks with a minimum effort.
