Contract Approval Changes

Per the June 30 memo from Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Arden and Executive Vice Chancellor Maimone, Procurement and Business Services implemented changes to the contract approval workflow within NC State’s procurement contract management platform for agreements exceeding $100,000. These modifications are designed to strengthen oversight at the college and division leadership level for contracted service expenditures over this threshold.

Contracts or amendments exceeding $100,000 (inclusive of amendments) require the following:

• Attestation Form completed by the requester and uploaded in the Procurement Contract Portal.
  
• Approval from the Assistant Dean of Finance (ADF) or equivalent.
  Contracts submitted without the appropriate approval authority and documentation will be returned to the requester by Procurement Services.
