Purchasing Flow Chart

There are various policies that provide requirements and guidelines for purchasing goods and services at Ferris State University.  This flow chart has been developed that helps provide clarity to these requirements by depicting step-by-step actions based on what is being purchased and the amount that is anticipated to be spent.  Determine what is being purchased as a good or a service and choose the box that best defines the potential overall cost.  The box will identify the chart that illustrates the steps to complete the purchase.  Please contact the Purchasing Department with any questions or comments. You may view the PDF version of the flow chart here.
