Purchasing

Procurement Services for Clarion University are provided by the Regional Procurement Office, which supports the purpose and goals of the university in its pursuit of providing educational opportunities to its diverse student population -- by procuring quality goods and services at competitive prices for all university customers. Regional Procurement personnel strive to achieve these goals by providing good customer service in a timely manner.

Procurement personnel are morally, ethically, and legally obligated to purchase all materials and services at the lowest possible price while still considering quality, service and delivery in accordance with all laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is extremely important to note that no one other than a Regional Procurement Office Agent is authorized to commit the university to a purchase of a commodity or a service. Any university faculty or staff member ordering something either verbally or by signing an agreement, without the proper authorization, may be held personally liable for the cost of the service.
