Procurement--EASY Procurement Card
The Johns Hopkins University Procurement Card Program is one of the University's two recommended methods for making purchases of needed supplies and services. The Procurement Card Program is designed to provide authorized faculty and staff with a cost-effective and convenient method of procuring and paying for small dollar purchases of regularly consumed supplies and services. The University Procurement Card is a MasterCard card obtained from Citibank, and should be accepted by any supplier that accepts MasterCard cards.
The Procurement Card Program is not intended to supplant the University's purchase order system. It is intended to broaden the University's portfolio of procurement methods. The Procurement Card is to be used for the purchase of supplies and services less than $2,500 in value. Items valued at more than $2,500 should be procured through the issuance of a University purchase order. The Procurement Card program is not intended to be used for travel/hospitality expenses. These types of services should be procured through the University American Express travel card program (administered by the Controller's Office, Travel Section).
To obtain a Procurement Card, a Procurement Card Application and Agreement Form must be completed and forwarded to Purchasing Services' Procurement Card Administrator. These forms are available at the Procurement Card Request Forms Web page. The Procurement Card Application form must be signed by the individual requesting a Card and by the department chairperson or administrator.
