Bus Charters are available on state contract with Gulf South Travel, 225-293-9586. Gulf South Travel will handle getting all of the necessary quotes from the bus companies and also reserve the buses for department. After receiving a quote from Gulf South Travel, the department must complete a requisition and attach the quote to the requisition. The requisition will need to be released to Purchasing for further processing.

Note: Prepayment of invoices is required for out-of-state charters through Gulf South Travel.

The Purchasing Office will issue a purchase order to Gulf South Travel. If the department chooses not to use state contract, then normal purchasing procedures must be followed and the bus company must meet all University Insurance Requirements.
