# How to buy from us

Thresholds, paperwork and an invoice that fit your procedure.

**A procurement document pack is $445 or $1,340.**

## How long does it take you to buy five thousand dollars' worth?

Three weeks if the supplier knows what a PO is, and three months if they do not. The requisition comes back from procurement over a missing line of description. The supplier asks for a card, and there is no card. The fiscal year ends before the procedure does.

## We arrive ready for your procedure

The quote arrives in the form procurement will accept: the work line by line, a unit and a quantity on each line, a deadline, the PO number in the invoice header and payment within thirty days.

We build the item to fit your threshold. What fits is papered as a direct purchase, and we do not split it for convenience. What does not fit goes honestly to tender — and we answer it, in your format.

The documents usually asked for separately arrive at once: the W-9, the bank details, the statement of work, the price confirmation and, if the purchase is grant-funded, a price comparison with a selection record.

### Where do these thresholds come from?

From the rules, not from our heads. The micro-purchase threshold of $15,000, the simplified acquisition threshold of $350,000 and commercial products at $9,000,000 — FAR 2.101 in the edition in force from 13 March 2026. Grant-funded purchase with self-certification up to $50,000 — 2 CFR 200.320(a)(1)(iv).

### Do you accept a PO and net-30?

Yes, that is our usual way. The invoice is issued to the legal entity with your PO number, and payment falls within thirty days of acceptance. No prepayment and no card are needed.

### Can the order be split to fit under a threshold?

No, and we will not suggest it: artificially splitting a purchase is a breach, and it is your organisation that answers for it, not the supplier. If the item does not fit, we either cut the scope down to what is needed now, or we answer the tender.

### We are not federal. Does this apply to us?

It does, only the states hold their own thresholds: Texas — $50,000 aggregated over the fiscal year, Florida — CATEGORY ONE at $20,000, California — $50,000. If your state is not on the list, we will check the threshold before the quote, not after.
