The SDSU Research Foundation (SDSURF) Procurement Card (PCard) program is designed to provide a more efficient means of making routine purchases by reducing paperwork and waiting time, allowing more purchasing responsibility and control at the department and project level, and streamlining the purchasing cycle for frequent and routine purchases.

SDSURF PCards are widely accepted Visa cards issued by US Bank (USB). They are “corporate liability” cards and are intended to be the primary method used for routine, authorized business purchases within the cardholder’s delegated authority limit, including taxes and shipping. The PCard program is meant to supplement purchasing mechanisms already in place, and is not intended as an overall replacement or as a means to circumvent purchasing guidelines, requirements, and policies and procedures established by SDSURF. If use of the PCard is not practical, the use of SDSURF’s existing mechanisms such as purchase orders and personal expense reimbursements may be utilized.
