LaCarte Purchasing Card “LaCarte” is a credit card issued to authorized employees for the purpose of making low dollar purchases.

LaCarte is intended to simplify your buying process and improve your cycle time from ordering to payment. Typical examples of items that may qualify for this program include books, computer accessories, materials, and supplies.

We wish to remind you that the LaCarte Card is a payment method and departments must evaluate their procurement needs as a whole to make sure LaCarte is the appropriate purchasing and payment method. For procurement needs greater than $5,000, competitive pricing is required and the Office of Purchasing is to be contacted. Splitting invoices to stay under the $5,000 per day limit is against the Governor's Executive Order and will require you to use private funds for anything over the initial $5,000 if deemed a split purchase. If in doubt, refer to the Office of Purchasing website, Splitting Purchases under the A-Z listing, or contact the Office of Purchasing. The LaCarte Card cannot be used for equipment purchases.
