• How do I request a purchase? Submit a purchase request through the online portal. Instructions for submittal are on the MyEFSC document center within the Purchasing folder, or call the Procurement office.
• Can I select my preferred vendor? Often, yes. Procurement will verify the vendor, create a B #, contact the vendor directly, and review the submitted Purchase Requisition for pricing, contract terms, and compliance requirements.
• My vendor isn ' t in the system. What should I do? If the vendor isn ' t currently approved with a B #, have them visit the College website and submit the online vendor registration form. Required documents: Company Information, W-9 form, ACH information( or a check will be processed), and State of Florida approved vendor certification( if applicable).
• What is a Purchase Order( PO)? A Purchase Order is the institution ' s official authorization to purchase goods or services from a vendor. Many vendors require a PO before filling an order or beginning work.
• Can I buy something personally and get reimbursed later? Always check with Procurement or Accounting first. Purchases made without prior approval may not be eligible for reimbursement.
• I need software or an online subscription. Should Procurement be involved? Yes. The IT Department may need to be contacted first.
• What if my request is urgent? Contact Procurement as soon as possible. We will work with you to identify available options while maintaining required approvals and compliance standards.
