Purchasing Updates

Tariff Update:

• Federal changes now require all imported goods, regardless of value, to pay tariffs based on their country of origin. These changes may impact purchases from foreign vendors and certain P-Card transactions. These changes do not apply to purchases shipped solely within the U.S.
• For details, see the Tariff Update Memo.

P-Card Procedure Update: 

• Beginning in January 2025, updated P-Card Procedures will be implemented.
• The P-Card Procedures have been updated to enhance compliance, streamline purchasing processes, and promote accountability. Bank of America Works will now be used to capture approvals, document a description of the purchase and upload receipts and approval or supporting documentation.
