Purchasing - Low Value Purchase Orders

Low Value Purchase Orders (LVPO)

* Download LVPO (aka Request for Delivery) Form (xls) - preferred, if possible  
* Download LVPO (aka Request for Delivery) Form (pdf)

Use Low Value Purchase Orders for supplies, materials, services and repairs totaling less than $2,500 including tax and shipping.

To place a low value purchase order for items whose total cost does not exceed $100, authorized persons may complete and e-mail the form directly to Daniel Daniels, CNSI Purchasing Coordinator, at purchase@cnsi.ucsb.edu. He will issue a LVPO number for you. Then, you may place the order yourself or request that we fax the LVPO to the vendor for you.

Please allow 24 hours for processing time.

If you are not authorized to submit LVPOs or your order exceeds your $100 authorization limit, you may:

1. Complete the LVPO form and e-mail it to an authorized person. S/he may forward the form to Daniel Daniels at purchase@cnsi.ucsb.edu, OR

2. Print out a hard copy of the form on goldenrod paper (which we may provide you), have an authorized person sign the form and take it to Daniel Daniels in Elings Hall, Room 3241.

Remember:   No office/administrative supplies are allowed on federal contracts or grants and all purchases or recharges over $100 must be authorized in writing by the principal investigator on your research project.
