What is the electronics recycling program?

The Loyola Electronics Recycling Program is a mechanism for disposing of equipment such as monitors, CPUs, keyboards, printers, fax machines, and other electronic equipment such as TVs and even microwaves.

It is not uncommon for new suppliers to require the University to complete a credit application prior to permitting the University to procure goods or services from their company. Suppliers typically ask for information about the University’s finances including financial statements, banking information and bank contact names, and other current supplier references.

When this occurs, please send the request in writing to purchase@loyno.edu and include:

In an effort to save money and stay informed on the current market for goods and services, the University has adopted two different thresholds, which require departments to obtain multiple quotes from different vendors or to formally go out to bid.

General Procurement Policies

The following support documentation is required based on the amount of the purchase:

Loyola University New Orleans is fortunate to partner and be a member of two purchasing consortiums - E&I Cooperative and Omnia Partners Consortiums. In addition, the University is permitted to utilize various State of Louisiana issued contracts. These consortium partnerships and State level contracts eliminate the need for bidding out of a variety of procurements.
