ePro is for purchasing items not available on eBuy or by using a PCard, such as:
- Items that require a Purchase Order
- All transactions over $25,000
- Purchases that require special approval
- Orders over PCard and eBuy purchase limits
ePro lets you create an electronic purchase request and then automatically manages the online workflow approval process in order to streamline your purchase. Once you (the Requester) enter a requisition, an approved Requisition Approver reviews it, checks for funds availability, and then routes the requisition back to us in Procurement so that we can create a Purchase Order.
To submit an order, download, print and complete the ePro Requisition Worksheet and hand it to a Requisition Preparer for processing. Please include applicable forms found in the table below. Click on the image below, or here, to access the table in full length.
Acquisition Preparation Matrix
The matrix is organized as follows:
- The first column lists various acquisition categories
- The subsequent column headings reference documents and preliminary information associated with acquisition requests
- Rows of the matrix indicate whether the referenced documents are needed by Procurement and/or other information is useful, if available; when submitting a requisition for the procurement category
Subcontract Requirements Matrix
This matrix is provided for reference by non-procurement personnel (e.g., Requesters and University Technical Representatives) for general reference only, many thresholds are not represented here and exclusions apply that aren’t indicated. Consult with the Procurement Specialist or Group Manager for thresholds/requirements not reflected in the matrix.
The matrix is organized as follows:
- The first column lists various federal and/or Department of Energy acquisition requirements that have to be met for the anticipated subcontract.
- The columns to the right provide the dollar thresholds at which the various requirements apply.
The thresholds apply to the total value of the acquisition. This means that it applies to the value for the entire scope of work to be performed, including multi-year performance periods and options. The most efficient and effective approach is for a subcontract to be issued for the full scope of an engagement, including options where possible. When submitting your request for goods/services, include the entirety of the scope and potential value; do not parse out the scope to avoid reaching thresholds.
