The following organizations are overseen by Business Services and support the University’s critical mission of teaching, research and public service:

• Procurement Services – primarily responsible for the purchase of goods and services for the campus,  including administration of  the Campus Buyer Program, Card Programs (including bluCard), Supplier Diversity Program, Strategic Sourcing Program (contract administration for large-scale purchase agreements) and the Assessment Program (analysis and reporting of compliance, policy and best practices in campus purchasing activities)
• Business Contracts Office – formulates and approves non-research related business arrangements (often with a revenue generation component)  
• Property Management – manages receipt and distribution of purchased goods, equipment inventory, sale and distribution of surplus campus property through the Overstock Den, storage space rental, registration and maintenance of University fleet, and provides support services for moving and special events

If it needs to be negotiated, acquired, stored, distributed, or moved, the Business Services team strives to employ the most cost-effective, efficient and innovative methods to manage and safeguard the University’s broad array of goods, services and assets.
