RE: Change in Policy Related to Appliance Purchases

UCD Policy and Procedure Manual Section 350-10 will be updated to 
permit the use of university-controlled funds in the purchase of 
appliances (refrigerators, microwave ovens, coffee makers, etc.) 
for common areas such as designated employee break areas. Appliance 
purchases will also be permitted for departmental reception areas 
where a legitimate business need exists to regularly serve the 
public. In these instances this type of purchase will no longer be 
onsidered a personal item. The purchase will require the approval 
of the department head. All other restrictions concerning personal 
purchases outlined in PPM Section 350-10 will remain in effect. 
This change will NOT apply to purchases retroactively.

The following University agreement has been established to 
facilitate the purchase of Energy Star(r) refrigerators and 
microwave ovens and should be cited on the DaFIS Departmental 
Purchase Order (DPO) or referenced when placing a Purchasing Card 
order.  DPOs must also cite commodity code 68648 for refrigerators 
**without** water hookup and 68722 for any other appliance.

Agreement #: UCD0706415
Vendor: Stabler's A-1 Appliance
1226 Harter Ave
Woodland, CA  95776
Phone: (530) 662-3996

Other appliances for placement in common areas may be purchased 
against the OfficeMax agreement in UCD Buy.  

Appliances for other purposes (e.g., laboratory refrigerators, ANY 
ice-making appliance that requires a water hookup, commercial food 
preparation appliances) must be purchased on a Requisition (PR) in 
DaFIS using an appropriate commodity code.  All such purchases 
require Environmental Health & Safety approval.

For questions or more information, please call Steve Frost, Director 
of Materiel Management, at (530) 747-3889.
