 The
Personal Service Agreement (often
referred to as a PSA or Form
CO-802A )
is a contract for professional or technical services between
the University and individuals, partnerships or corporations. These
contractors are not employees of the State, but are hired for a
fee to provide services that are infrequent and unique, and primarily
noncompetitive in nature.
A
Purchase Order is the correct instrument to pay for consulting
services that are routine vendor-type services. A Purchase
Order needs to be used for all services that require competitive
bids.
If you are contracting with an "International Visitor"
please call Accounts Payable @ 486-4137 to determine what
documentation must be completed prior to beginning the PSA process.
Using "Foundation Funds" to
pay your PSA? University accounts must be used and then reimbursed
by Foundation Funds. Foundation funds cannot pay a PSA
contractor directly on the University's behalf. Foundation questions
call 486-2006.
