UM System Procurement encompasses multiple functions: Purchasing / Procurement; Contracting; Operations; Distribution and Logistics; Surplus and Asset Management; and Finance Support.

Procurement of services not delegated to Business Services are delegated to UM Procurement. For example, equipment rentals, catering, and software purchases are within UM Procurement's delegation.   

The continually updated Payment Reference Guide and Commodity Assignment Guide are invaluable tools in answering the question, "Who handles what?"
