5.2. Amazon.com Purchases

Although Amazon.com may be used for District purchases, it first requires approval from the Business office.

To receive approval please submit a request to the BOSC. In most cases, if items can be purchased from another vendor, the request will not be approved. The following is how to make a purchase with Amazon.*

• Submit a request to the BOSC for approval providing the following:
  • A direct link to the items you wish to purchase and the total amount of the purchase
  • Rationale (why it has to be purchased through Amazon)
• Once approved through the BOSC, create a requisition in ERP for this purchase
  • Select vendor # 256, Amazon.com
  • Enter your BOSC ticket number on the Internal Line under Special Instructions
  • You must include the Amazon assigned ASIN number for each item, it should be at the beginning of the item description.
  • Include a 15% line item for estimated shipping or the actual shipping, if known, and finalize the requisition
• Once it becomes a purchase order the Business Office will place the order and send you an order confirmation
