The Director of Procurement Services has the delegated authority to serve as the Chief Procurement Officer for the University and exercise the powers, duties, and functions pertaining to the procurement of commodities and contractual services. See Purchase Order Requirements. Only authorized FSU personnel may commit University funds and/or sign contracts.
No, not all orders; however, FSU does encourage open competition when and where practible as it is the obligation of Procurement Services to secure timely delivery of quality goods and services at the most cost-effective prices. Competitive solicitations are required for most purchases exceeding $150,000.
Visit the Competitive Solicitations webpage and click on the Notice of Intended Decision Link.
Procurement Services’ Staff are eager to identify potential opportunities and explain the procurement process. They will also provide advice, resources, and answers to questions about the University.
See Payment Terms. For specific payment related questions, contact Payables and Disbursement Services at 850-644-5021 or accountspayable@fsu.edu.

Current FSU paid employees cannot be suppliers. Any additional work outside the scope of their position will need to be paid via an additional one-time payment processed through Human Resources. This applies for the person or a company that the person has a contractual relationship with.
Supplier applications involving the relatives of current FSU employees must be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as Florida law and FSU policies prohibit any university employee from using their public capacity position, resources, or authority for the benefit of their relatives or for their businesses. Restrictions also exist concerning the ability of FSU to purchase goods, services, or realty from a business that is owned or controlled by the spouse or child of a current FSU employee.
