On July 11, the new required Skillsoft Percipio training course for Procurement Card (PCard) holders and Approving Officials (AOs) went live. This new training requirement is related to IT purchases and designed to reduce risk, strengthen alignment with University IT security standards, and make IT purchasing more efficient across campuses. All current cardholders and approving officials must complete this training by September 1, 2025. All new cardholder applications and approving official applications will also require completion of this training course moving forward. 

IT Procurement Percipio Training Course (U00282)

Beginning 9/1/2025, the following guidance will be added to the Violations and Prohibited Transactions section of the Procurement Card Handbook: IT PURCHASES (Including Hardware, Software and Services)

Cardholders are prohibited from using the Procurement Card to purchase IT goods or services that are covered under an existing university agreement. This could be an enterprise-wide or campus-wide agreement, a mandatory price agreement, or a master services agreement. Additionally, cardholders cannot use the Procurement Card to make any IT purchases further prohibited by their campus. Existing IT agreements can be reviewed on the PSC’s IT Procurement page as well as on the campus-specific page links listed below. Cardholders are expected to review existing agreements as well as information on campus-specific restrictions and allowability when considering making any IT purchase on their card. Any IT purchase that is eligible to be made on the Procurement Card must have all associated security, compliance, or contractual components reviewed before payment is completed. Refer to the PSC’s IT Procurement webpage for additional guidance.
