Welcome to the Office of Purchasing

The mission of the Office of Purchasing is to support the university community by acquiring the proper quantity and quality of goods and services at the right time and place.
 

We are located in the basement of Morrison Hall, which is close to the southeast corner of the large parking lot south of Cessna Stadium.

The office employs six people. Our job is to help the employees of WSU navigate the procurement statutes that govern our purchasing environment. We will assist you in making the correct choices early in your process so you can more efficiently purchase the goods and services needed to support your teaching, research, or operations within your department.
