Purchasing
Any purchases made with grant funds above $10K need to be routed through the University’s procurement department. To be ahead of the process, make sure you have at least 3 quotes from different vendors for each >$10K purchase.
Purchases under $10K:
Amazon Business Account:
Search and make purchases like you normally do through Amazon (billing and shipping address should be already saved in the account settings).
Print order to pdf and save it using the file name format below, then place the pdf file into the folder Order and Receipts (located in Google Drive, LotLab_Shared_Resources)
Northeastern My Marketplace:
Fill out and submit your Access Form to gain access and purchase through My Marketplace.
Log in to your MyNortheastern portal, go to Services and Links, under Finance Serces for Faculty & Staff, select myMarketplace.
Save myMarketplace to you favorites so it’s easier to find next time.
