Agencies will consider the following factors, in the order presented, before using the direct
charge/payment method:
1. Does competition exist for the good/service being
purchased?
If so, the agency will follow applicable
procurement rules and payment methods
including the use of an official purchase order.
If the agency has established an agreement
through the competitive process and the contract
allows for a direct charge/payment, see 2 below.
2. What is the estimated dollar amount for the
purchase?
If competition exists, yet the anticipated total
spend will be less than the purchase order
threshold, a direct charge or payment is acceptable
in accordance with agency-specific policies and
procedures that ensure procurement or
purchasing functional review.
3. What is the nature of the good or service being
purchased?
Regardless of dollar amount, certain goods or
services do not require the use of procurement
methods or the issuance of purchase orders. These
transaction types include the list below. However,
if a statewide or agency contract has been issued
which requires purchase orders for any item
