Before you make a request:
Before making a request, please take the time to choose the proper procurement channel (eBuy, ePro, or P-Card). Not only will this expedite your order and prevent any delays, but not doing so creates a danger of an unauthorized commitment. If you have any questions about which procurement channel is best, contact the IT Procurement Team
Contract Agreements: Only those who have delegated Procurement authority may enter into contracts, modify contracts, terminate contracts or contractually bind Berkeley Lab for the purchase of goods or services.
Unauthorized Procurement: Do not make a commitment (signed or verbal) without prior approval! Unauthorized procurement is subject to disciplinary action and you may be personally responsible for payment of charges incurred. Review guidance for Acquisition Planning and scroll down to the Unauthorized Procurement section.
Examples of unauthorized procurement include but are not limited to:
Services: Executing repairs on campus housed equipment without securing a Berkeley Lab P.O. in advance
Goods: Placing an order with a vendor without going through the MSD and/or Berkeley Lab procurement process
Contracts: Signing contracts on behalf of Berkeley Lab
