Purchasing Guidelines
The Procurement Process
Before being processed each payment or commitment to purchase is reviewed by the Grants Management Office (GMO) to ensure that the materials or services being ordered comply with the project budget, and are consistent with sponsor regulations and The Research Foundation (RF) policy. With the information provided, GMO will determine if the item is allowable, reasonable, and allocable . Reasonableness and allocability of certain items of costs may be difficult to determine. In these situations, GMO will request prior written approval from the sponsor.
Purchase Requests
Purchase requests are processed via SUNY Geneseo's e-procurement system, KnightSource.
Visa Payments
The Research Foundation Visa will be used at the discretion of the GMO. Contact GMO at (585) 245-5060 for more information.
