28.2.11 Procurement in Emergency Situation

When an Emergency Situation (defined at 28.8) occurs, the University’s employees may make a commitment to a vendor without a formal procedure as stipulated in this Chapter. Such transactions would include, for example, transactions at an unanticipated and sudden life-threatening or catastrophic event. Simple urgent matters and/or lack of time for required procurement procedures are not considered as appropriate reasons in this article.
