Office of Purchasing: Equipment Repair

When University equipment requires repairs, follow these steps:

The department/office must:

Call the Coordinator of Inventory/Risk Insurance at ext. 4477 or send e-mail, and provide equipment description and bar code number.
Transport equipment to the storeroom if instructed to do so.

Under no circumstances does the department transport or send the material to the repairing agency.

Prepare a shipping memo and send to the purchasing expediter.

Make repair arrangements. The repairing agency will either come on campus to make the repair, or we will send the product to the agency.
Send a packing list and label to the storeroom if the item is sent off-campus for repair.
Obtain a repair estimate.

The expediter, inventory/risk insurance coordinator and the department will determine if the item is beyond the economic repair value.
