Supplier's Guide

BYU-Idaho individuals and departments may contact suppliers to determine specifications and are authorized to commit funds up to $3,500. However, no commitments are to be made by department personnel beyond that amount. University policy stipulates that unauthorized purchase commitments are the responsibility of the individual making the purchase and not the responsibility of BYU-Idaho. Therefore, we urge you not to act on any request in excess of $3,500 without a valid purchase order number issued by the Purchasing Department.

Generally, orders require competition or justification for lack thereof. All purchases require the establishment of fair and reasonable pricing. Final discretionary authority rests with the Purchasing Department on what level of competition is required.

When considering a new supplier, BYU-Idaho considers five topics to be important. Your attention to them will help establish a meaningful relationship with us:

• Price
• Quality
• Service
• Performance
• Value
