Mission Statement
In support of the instructional, educational and research goals of Florida Atlantic University, the Purchasing Department will provide the campus community with quality, cost-effective and expedient procurement services. These services are rendered with professional, ethical, and courteous principles in accordance with state regulations and guidelines.
The department is responsible for all procedures involving contract bidding, vendor selection, acquisition of equipment, furnishings, supplies, minor construction, preventive maintenance services, contractual services, and lease of space for the University within pre-established budgetary constraints. Purchasing also includes: preparing budget estimates, preparing bid specifications, initiating formal quotations, processing proposals and bids, conducting public bid openings, evaluating and awarding bids, and administrating contracts until final completion or termination.
