Purchasing is an important function of administrative management at NEOUCOM.  The purchasing function at NEOUCOM is decentralized and varied, but is overseen by the Office of Business Operations, which is a service department organized to support the instructional and research efforts of the faculty and staff; as well as other College service departments.  Purchasing involves the acquisition of equipment, furnishing, supplies and services for the College within pre-established budgetary constraints.

The purchasing function at NEOUCOM is accomplished through any of four (4) means:

• Purchasing Cards (P-Card)
• Purchase Orders
• Check Requests
• Honorariums

NEOUCOM's P-Card Program is underway.  This program is designed to utilize a more efficient and cost effective procurement process for small dollar purchases from any vendor that accepts MasterCard.  The program allows the cardholder and authorized users to purchase approved commodities and services via the internet, telephone, fax, or mail.
