Purchasing Services handles the purchase and disposal of all
University-owned vehicles for business use.
BUYING
To initiate a request to purchase a vehicle, please send an email
to purchasing@usfca.edu , describing the
make, model, required specifications and expected University related use of the
vehicle. Purchasing will contact our vendor sources for bids and recommend a
vehicle to which fits your needs. Once you have received the bid from
Purchasing, please send down a requisition with all the details attached and
the appropriate budget authority signatures. A vice president’s authorization
may be needed on the requisition.
Vehicle maintenance is the department’s responsibility. Each
vehicle must have a vehicle insurance card under the University’s insurance
policy. To learn more about obtaining vehicle insurance, please visit Human Resources’ Risk Management Information Page .
DISPOSAL
To initiate the disposal of a vehicle, please send a written
request to Purchasing along with the keys and title for the vehicle. Purchasing
will handle the disposal of the vehicle at our auction house. When a sale is
made, the check will be sent to Purchasing and deposited into the department’s
FOAP(AL).
Purchasing will handle the deletion of the vehicle under the
University’s insurance policy.
If you have any questions, please contact us at x5898 or purchasing@usfca.edu.
