Submitting your Contract
Procurement Notice - $15K or More = Purchasing Office Review
If the total value of the contract is $15K or more, contact the Purchasing Office before proceeding. If submission of a purchase request is required, then the department should not submit the contract request to BCO. The Purchasing Office will submit the request in TCM on behalf of the department after they receive the purchase request and after procurement requirements are satisfied. (BCO will then add the requester as a “stakeholder” so the requester can follow the process electronically.)
Please see the Purchasing Office website for further information on procurement requirements and submission of purchase requests, located at: https://www.utsa.edu/purchasing/
