The transition to remote working conditions has created challenges for deliveries, with increased questions about shipping and delivery of supplies and business-essential items purchased with University PCards.
Allowable deliveries to personal residences are preferred subject to each respective department's leadership approval, under these conditions:
- Under no circumstances shall hazardous materials, laboratory reagents, chemicals, biological agents, controlled substances or any other item that may create a safety hazard be delivered to a personal residence.
- Other business-related supplies and items currently authorized for purchase with a University PCard per Financial Services Policy 9.18 Small Dollar/Direct Purchase Procedures may be delivered to personal residences on an as needed basis.
- Departments are required to develop a procedure for tracking supplies and items delivered to personal residences to establish responsibility and controls around such
- It is the responsibility of each respective department's leadership to ensure that items delivered to personal residences are not misappropriated for personal use and that these items are returned to department office units when remote working conditions cease
- Departments are responsible for providing a valid University business purpose when reconciling these PCard transactions and submitting all receipts and backup documentation to support these purchases
Central Receiving remains open to accepting deliveries for any method of payment (including Purchasing Card), and employees can pick up purchases at the warehouse. To ship to Central Receiving the order should include:
- The individual's name
- Department
- Address: 3740 E 34th Street, Tucson, AZ 85713
Thank you for your patience as we strive to ensure that business needs are accommodated, and employee safety is protected.
