Smartsheet PR (preferred, quicker turnaround)
Use the new streamlined Smartsheet PR if what you are trying to buy meets these criteria:
- Under $15,000
- Does not require a signature or contract
- Not an IT purchase (see definition below) — small AV/tech items under $500, like webcams, cables, chargers, or docking stations, are fine to submit here
Use the PREQ form if what you are trying to buy is any of these:
- $15,000 or greater
- Requires a signature or contract
- IT Purchase: laptops/desktops, tablets, hard drives, external storage, heavy equipment and machinery, or specialized scientific/research equipment with integrated computer components
- Any item valued over $500 that will require inventory tagging
These types of purchases require additional routing and approvals.
