Purchasing Services leverages USC's collective buying power to procure annually more than $450 million in goods and services.

The department's professional staff are committed to:

• Negotiating best-value contracts (see List of Contract Suppliers)
• Selecting responsive and qualified suppliers
• Facilitating prompt payment and delivery
• Assuring compliance to USC and sponsored-project policies and procedures

Purchasing Services works in tandem with Supplier Diversity Services to reach the university's goal to procure, regardless of source of funds, 15% of all purchases with diverse suppliers, including woman, minority, and veteran-owned businesses.
