  |  | When placing orders for materials and equipment, 
  paying fees for subscriptions, seminars or for reimbursements, use our online
  Requisition Form.  This includes all 
  orders, whether they are to be paid using a Purchase Order, prepaid with our 
  department's credit card or institution check. Fill out the form as prompted, then send the 
  order to Purchasing.  If you have 10 items or more, use our
  2-page Requisition Form. If you have been given a quotation from 
  the vendor or have a form to include with the payment, be sure to attach it.  
  Also, when you receive your shipment, remember to forward the vendor's packing 
  slip to Purchasing.  Thank you.

        If you have problems when submitting our
        Requisition form online, try this:   
        1) Save your completed form as a PDF document. 
        To save or send the form, you will need the full version 
        of Acrobat; 
        (the free Acrobat Reader will only allow you  to fill-in and print the form).  This software is available for a 
        discounted price ($30 to $50) from OETC.   
         
         
        2) Open your e-mail program to create a new message.  
         
         
        3) Insert your order as an attachment to that message and send it to
        Purchasing. 
        If these steps still don't resolve the problem, print your completed 
        order and bring it to Purchasing, or
        contact us.  Thank you.

   prior to allowing the contractor to perform any 
  services, these forms must be signed by the contractor and authorized by the 
  UO Business Office, per
  State of 
Oregon guidelines.  These Personal Service Contracting (PSC) forms are used 
  to contract all services provided by non-OUS (Oregon University System) 
  employees.  (back to top) 
    |  | 
    PSC Short Form:  for use when services will cost $5,000 or less, if you know the 
exact total and only one payment is to be made. 
Read the 
    PSC Short Form 
Instructions before filling out the form.
 
The Short Form does not need to be pre-authorized by the Business Office, but 
does need to be signed by the contractor and returned to us PRIOR to 
having any work performed.   
Upon presentation of the vendor invoice and when the work is completed to our 
satisfaction, the department will approve the PSC and forward it for payment. 
    When You Can Use the Short Form: 
    • The total contract value including additional 
    expenses is $5,000 or less and you know the exact amount.  Contracts 
    with a "not-to-exceed" value must use the Long Form. 
    • The services to be provided are simple 
    activities where a brief description can describe the 
    responsibilities of the contractor. 
    • The contractor is not a UO or Oregon University 
    System employee. 
    • The contractor is not a resident alien or a non-resident 
    alien. 
    • Only one payment on the PSC invoice will be made 
    to the contractor.

PSC Long Form (with 
exhibits and attachments):  (updated 
7/29/04)for use when services will cost  over $5,000, the exact total is 
not known for any contract, or the contractor is not a U.S. 
Citizen.  Fill-in this form online and print it, 
then send the complete packet to Purchasing for review
before having the 
Contractor sign the document.
