State Statutes
All purchasing functions are delegated to the University by the State. The two State Statues that describe conflict of interest situations appear in MSD Appendix 12, Conflict of Interest: State Statues.
University Policy
The University's normal policy is not to purchase from State or University employees. In this way, the University tries to protect its Purchasing Officers and employees from becoming involved in a conflict of interest situation.
Approval of Purchases from State or University Personnel
A request to purchase materials or services from State or University personnel (other than services authorized under the University's dual employment provisions; see FPB Procedure 6) or from companies in which any State or University employee may have any financial interest, either directly or indirectly, may be submitted in writing to the State Purchase and Contract Division, with a detailed justification supporting such a purchase request. If the State Secretary of Administration concurs with the request, the purchase may be made. All requests for services or materials as described above should be submitted to the Purchasing Division on the standard Purchase Requisition form with a justification memorandum as an attachment.
