Purchasing Programs

PROCUREMENT CARD PROGRAM

The Procurement Card Program supplements the purchasing process by enabling users to purchase low dollar value items with a University-sponsored credit card.  The card, which is tied to a departmental budget account, has various features that allow for cost-effective transactions to be made.   You may apply for a card by completing the procurement card application in Electronic Forms. 
 
After applying for a procurement card, you must complete a required online training session to familiarize yourself with card usage policies and procedures.  You will also be required to complete a Cardholder Agreement at this session.
Contact: ProCard Administrator (312) 915-8750/ProCard-Admin@luc.edu

INTERIOR FURNISHINGS

The University has implemented a standard for design of all spaces including furniture, carpet and window treatment.  LUC's Interior Design has established a design standard to assist you in selecting interior furniture and finishes.  Narrowing the selection of vendors and products allows the University increased buying power and continuity of appearance and service.  By adhering to a standard, the University community can also benefit from the exchange of furniture no longer needed by one department but usable within another.

Copier Fleet Program

The University Copier Fleet Program is administered by the Purchasing Department. Under this program, the University has contracted with a copier manufacturer to provide access to a new, state of the art, digital copiers for Departmental use. Departments are charged a monthly equipment cost and for the copies that they print each month.

REDISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS PROGRAM

The Design Services unit administers the furniture disposal and reassignment program.  This program provides previously used furniture at no cost to the department.  The used furniture program is managed by Administrative Services with delivery of furniture provided by the Facilities Department.  Items determined to be too obsolete for University reassignment are donated to area charities at the discretion of the Design Services Manager.
