Can a department issue a PO for less than $5,000 for a software license agreement?
No. Since nearly all software providers will not agree to the University’s standard terms and conditions, and there are possible intellectual property and “deemed export” liabilities that may far exceed the value of the license, ALL software license agreements should be executed by Purchasing with additional reviews by both CSSD and the Office of General Counsel.
