This document has been designed to provide an overview of the purchasing process at UTSA. The primary function of this page is intended to familiarize new faculty and staff with the basic information necessary to communicate with the Purchasing Department. The purchasing process can be a complex procedure because of various rules and regulations imposed by Federal and State laws. This guide briefly outlines some of these rules. For detailed information and instructions on actually preparing requisitions call your buyer or refer to the Purchasing Handbook available from the Purchasing Department.
