Purchase Order An official numbered purchase order is the primary method for purchasing goods, services, or equipment obligating the City of University Park for payment. Transactions over $3,000.00 may not be valid and binding unless it has an official purchase order number. Many orders are placed by telephone and all vendors should ask the buyer for a purchase order number or their city issued credit card number. Delivery All shipments must be externally identified with a packing list indicating contents and referencing the city purchase order number and department name. It is preferred that the name of the person initiating the transaction also be listed on the packing list for additional identification purposes. Deliveries must be made “F.O.B. Destination” unless other arrangements have been approved by City officials at the time of the order. Collect shipments will not be accepted. Invoices All invoices are paid on a NET 30 basis after goods or services are provided and accepted by City staff.

All invoices are matched against the purchase order and the receiving report to initiate payment.
