Purchasing Policies

The mission of Purchasing and Contract Services is to support and facilitate the instructional research and public service mission of the university by applying the best methods and business practices when K-State is acquiring supplies, materials, equipment, goods, property, printing and services. Within the context of the K-State environment, Purchasing and Contract Services will promote the development and use of purchasing processes that, in turn, promote the pursuit of excellence and the best interests of K-State while maintaining the highest possible integrity, broad based competition, fair and equal treatment of the business community, and increased economies and efficiencies in the purchasing process. Purchasing and Contract Services communicates and collaborates with other state universities and the State of Kansas Procurement and Contracts to ensure that all procurement opportunities where mutual benefit can be obtained are achieved.
