Effective January 1, 1998, all purchases made under authority delegated to departments by the Purchasing Division, (Departmental Delegated Purchases) must be made on the University of Kentucky Procurement Card, with the exception of specific items and categories. The exceptions are specified in Section B-3-1 of the Business Procedures Manual.
Certain types or categories of purchases and cash disbursements are to be purchased by the DAV process within the limits specified. Purchases or expenditures which are not authorized in Section B-3, or which exceed the authorized limits in Section B-3, can be made through the standard requisition process.

For the convenience of the University departments, the Purchasing Division is establishing a list of vendors who accept the University of Kentucky Procurement Card (MasterCard). Departments may use other vendors, provided they will accept the University's Procurement Card (MasterCard). The list will be revised periodically and is viewable on our web site:
