Purchasing Manual
The purchasing manual serves as a reference for those who, in their role as representatives of Hampshire College, purchase goods and/or services to be used in the pursuit of its mission.
It contains a summary of the policies and procedures that have been developed to guide these actions. The explicit goal of these policies are threefold: to ensure the health and safety of the College's faculty, staff, and students; to encourage behavior in this area that adheres to both legal and ethical standards; and to facilitate a method of obtaining goods and services that protects the financial interests of the College.
