Information for
UST Vendors
The
University of St. Thomas is a decentralized purchasing organization.
As such, we do not maintain vendor "bid lists." Many orders and
vendor selections are initiated at the departmental level. We
strive to create a level playing field, and comparison shop whenever
possible. We recommend price quotes or formal bidding based upon
the purchase.
Our primary method of purchasing is the UST Purchase Order.
Vendors should not accept orders above $250 without a university PO
number. The valid PO number format is P060xxxx. Our
secondary method of purchasing is the university's Purchasing Credit
Card. It is valid for legitimate university business purchases
less than $1000.
Vendors should be aware of our terms and
conditions which normally prevail for all university purchases.
Invoices must be sent to Accounts Payable. Invoices must
reference the university PO number. If payment is late, the first
point of inquiry should be the individual placing the order.
Please notify UST Purchasing Services instead of soliciting directly to
departments.
