New Grant Uniform Guidance Policy and Processes
Uniform Guidance (UG), is the set of rules and regulations that governs the administration of federally funded projects during its life span. The bulk of Uniform Guidance came into effect on December 26, 2014, but much of the guidelines that impact University Procurement Services were delayed. As a result, Rowan became compliant with UG standards by July 1, 2018, a requirement in order to remain eligible to receive federal funds.

Warning: Confirming Orders
In order to safeguard public funds State Law requires, with few exceptions, that goods and services be received and inspected before payment is made.

Requisitions submitted to the OC&P after the order has been placed with the vendor or after the University has received the products or services are called Confirming Orders.

Confirming orders are not allowed.

There are several potential problems associated with confirming orders; such as:

  • Violations of legal requirements
  • Lost items
  • Missed discounts
  • Receipt of duplicate shipments
  • Redundant payments
  • Unidentified invoices

Any employee who buys products or services without going through the OC&P assumes the possibility of personal liability for payment and the suspension of requisitioning privileges.

If you submit a requisition with an invoice attached indicating the purchase has already been completed, please note that the OC&P may not process the requisition.
