When the funding source is Federal and the order is $10,000 or greater (Form A must be completed and fully documented), the FlexCard Authorization form in Gateway cannot be used. A regular Gateway Purchase Order must be obtained so the order is sent to the supplier and they receive our Terms and Conditions.
The FlexCard can be used for purchases on federal funds up to $9,999.99 (including tax and shipping). If the total federal amount of the acquisition exceeds $9,999.99, you will need to enter a standard purchase order requisition in Gateway.
Due to federal regulations for contract and grant awards, the UC is required to flow-down certain contract provisions to the vendor. As a result, every vendor we need to use for federal purchases over the microcap threshold will need to be vendored into Gateway.
