Frequently Asked Questions

  • Contracts/Agreements FAQ

    Contracts that require approval and signature by the college.

    Before requesting a signature, have you followed the required procurement process (Purchasing 101 – Requisition Buying Guide)? Once all requirements have been met, have the supplier sign the contract first. Email the signed contract to the Procurement Office at purchasing@palmbeachstate.edu. Your contract will be submitted to the Vice President of Finance & Administration for signature, then returned to you. Once fully executed, attach it to a Requisition in Workday to request an order for the services and/or goods.

    When typing a Performer Agreement, can I use the owners name instead of the company name?

    The performer's name must match exactly the name as it appears on their supplier application and W-9 or the agreement will be rejected. The registered supplier name will be listed in Workday.

    Do I need a Performer Agreement for a no-charge ($0) performance?

    Yes. For liability purposes, a Performer Agreement is needed anytime any outside entity comes onto campus.

  • Technology FAQ

    Can I buy an app from a Windows App Store?

    Windows app stores do not accept purchase orders. If a department requires an app that is offered
    only through one specific Windows App Store, then I.T. must make that purchase. The requesting department will budget transfer the funds to I.T. so the purchase can be made. Contact the I.T. Service Desk for more details.

    How do I buy a USB (thumb) drive?

    The Information Technology department maintains a list of College Standard Hardware Items, including USB drives and can assist your with the selection best suitable for your situation.

    Once selected, you will need to reach out to Purchasing to request a quote. Purchasing will obtain the quote, send it to you and you will need to enter a requisition in Workday.

    What is the process to order a technology-related item for my computer or other device?
