Contract Review and Approval Process

Policy 620 Contract Approval, Signatory, and Reporting serves as the ISU contracting policy. All ISU faculty and staff should become familiar with this policy when considering a formal or informal arrangement with a third party. The policy directs the ISU community to specific offices, depending upon the type of contract, for review and approval. It also provides information about signature authority. Faculty and staff are not authorized to sign contracts unless they serve in a role authorized by the policy or directly report to the person with authority and have been delegated authority.

Most contracts for goods and services should be routed through ISU Purchasing and Central Receiving.

The ISU Office of the General Counsel has established a contract routing procedure with contract managers from each division and academic college who have been provided with contract training. Contract managers will then route the contract through a contract management system called Concord for legal, insurance, and other review and approval. Please contact the individual in your division or department to discuss your specific contract needs. If you need any further assistance, please contact Mary Koenig at Mary.Koenig@ngskmc-eis.net.
