Tracking Order Form
Use the TOF for orders for suppliers not listed on the CU Marketplace with the exception of Amazon.
For all Amazon orders, an email with the quantity, hyperlink(s), a reason for the item(s), and a project number is sufficient.
Provide the Project name or Description of the grant to charge. Use the appropriate form(s) that are relative to the type of Project (sponsored/non-sponsored). Sign all forms at the requester line.
You are strongly encouraged to use a preferred supplier with a University-Wide Purchasing Agreement (UwPA), if available, as they have already been approved by Columbia. Visit Learn about University-Wide Purchasing Agreements (UwPA) for more information.
Using a non-approved supplier will require a variety of different documentation and methods of payment, and, in some cases, will require competitive bidding. If you know the supplier that you would like to use, the ARC Vendor ID Lookup to see if the supplier already exists in our system.
