Contract Signature Authority Policy
In order to carry on the day-to-day business of Auburn University, it is necessary for the President to delegate signature authority to certain departments and individuals occupying unique positions at the University. The Contract Signature Authority Policy reflects the approved delegated signature authority for most documents which typically result in some financial obligation or consequence for Auburn University. Please keep in mind that outside specific delegated signature authority, no individual has the authority to commit Auburn University contractually to goods and services, leased space, sponsored agreements and other types of agreements.
Maintenance Contracts < or = to $2,500 Annually
A Purchase Order (PO) is not required for routine maintenance contracts (ie...printers, copiers, PC's) if the annual cost of the contract is less than or equal to $2,500. In such cases, the Department Head/Dean will review and approve the contract and payments will be made via vendor voucher without reference to a PO. If the annual cost of the maintenance contract exceeds $2,500, a PO must be processed, the contract must be reviewed and approved by PPS, and vendor vouchers for payment will reference the PO established for that contract. Maintenance costs may NOT be paid via the AU Purchasing Card. Contact Charleen Freeman @ 4-7771 or
freemcm@auburn.edu if you need additional information.
AU Vendor Center
Register to do business with AU via the AU Vendor Center! There, vendors and independent contractors can self report the commodities that they offer, request to be added to the AU and/or AUM bid lists, offer information on their SBA status and register for FastPay, our payment direct deposit service. Register today to ensure that your company can receive bids, purchase orders and payments from AU! (AU/AUM/ACES students and employees should NOT register via the Vendor Center.)
