Purchasing Services

Orders may be placed with designated contract suppliers through catalogs in buyLU. Following departmental approval, these electronic orders will be sent directly to the supplier via a Purchase Order and will not flow through Procurement.

A Non-Catalog Purchase Order (PO) is the most commonly used purchasing method. End users may request a quote from a supplier and enter the information into a non-catalog requisition in buyLU. The requisition will be processed into a purchase order and sent to the vendor for fulfillment. Suppliers must be active in buyLU prior to the requisition submission.

A Liberty University Purchasing Card (P-Card) is a Truist VISA corporate credit card intended for small point-of-sale purchases and travel/professional development expenses. This payment method replaces the requisition process for most purchases under $2,500. For more information on P-Card purchases, please see the P-Card web page.

Liberty University has developed standard purchasing procedures and policies that will guide you with every purchase. Please visit our Procurement Document Library for more help.
