We ensure that all procurement transactions are conducted in a legal, ethical and
professional manner by abiding by the procurement laws and regulations set forth by
the State of South Carolina and the University's policies and procedures.
All business personnel are reminded that the procurement method must be determined
by the Purchasing Department prior to sending any contract to the Office of the General
Counsel for approval and authorized signature. Failure to do so will result in an
unauthorized procurement in accordance with South Carolina state law and University
of South Carolina policies and procedures. In accordance with University policy,
expenditures of university funds which fail to follow this requirement when an external
contract document is required “shall be considered unauthorized and may become the personal responsibility of the individual(s) authorizing and/or
making the transaction . Changes to existing purchase orders may also constitute unauthorized procurements.”
Please contact the Purchasing Department if you have any questions.
University Suppliers are encouraged to obtain a User ID and update their Supplier
Profile information, such as addresses, contacts, and payment preferences in our Supplier
Portal.
Companies that are not current Suppliers may register as Bidders in the Supplier Portal
and participate in Solicitation Events.
