Responsibility of Purchasing

IPFW is a state-funded educational institution, and so must comply with certain rules regarding procurement. Throughout the purchasing process, we follow local, state, and federal statutes and regulations. We conduct our business in an ethical manner. We are required to maintain accurate and complete documentation and to use consistent methods for making purchases.

The Purchasing Department is responsible for procurement of all goods and services used by IPFW. Purchasing authority is defined as the authority to commit University funds for goods or services associated with the activities of the University. Institutional policy, derived from Indiana state law, places this authority with the staff of the Purchasing Department. Please contact the Purchasing Department if you have any questions regarding procurement of goods or services by IPFW.
