3.1.1.ÌýUnless the requisition involves the disclosure of personal information to a third party or includes payment card industry (PCI) data, services, or infrastructure (both of which require the submittal of a contract request in MMP for full oversight by Procurement Services), MMP purchase requisitions under $100,000 (before tax) will immediately proceed to financial approval workflows in Banner.


3.1.2.ÌýProcurement Services will periodically sample the above MMP transactions after the fact, in order to verify the appropriateness of publicly published purchase descriptions (e.g., SEAO), to identify requisitions that should have been subjected to Procurement Services due to the presence of personal information or PCI elements, and to detect opportunities for contract consolidation or improved sourcing strategies.
