Requisitions (RX's) and RX Supplements

The Requisition (RX) and the RX Supplement begin the purchasing process for large order purchases ($50,000+). Nothing can be done in the Purchasing Department until a correctly filled-in RX form is submitted to Purchasing from another department.

Requisitions (RX's)

The Requisition Form is used by departments for requests that are $50,000 and over. This form provides the specifications necessary for Purchasing Services to issue a bid document to vendors, depending on the dollar amount.

Requisitions are internal documents between departments and Purchasing Services. Departments should never issue requisition numbers directly to vendors to place an order.

RX Supplements

The Requisition Supplement form is completed by the department that is used to add additional pages to an RX or to amend a previously submitted RX.
