From ordering to receiving
Procurement
- Procurement is comprised of five (5) distinct service departments: Purchasing, Central Receiving, Asset Management, Mailroom, and Reprographics. They also offer an in-depth Elixir training course. Use this link to get started.
Purchasing
- Purchasing helps us ensure our items are ordered properly. WesternU uses Elixir to order our supplies using accounts called FOAPs. FOAPAL stands for FUND, ORGANIZATION, ACCOUNT and PROGRAM. Please, contact your purchasing team to obtain your FOAPAL account by emailing POINT.
- We have created a dedicated page for research orders on Elixir. Click Here to access it.

IF YOU NEED TO ORDER ITEMS THAT REQUIRE SPECIAL PERMISSIONS FROM THE INSTITUTIONAL BIOSAFETY COMMITTEE (IBC) OR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, PLEASE EMAIL THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH REGULATORY AFFAIRS (ORRA) AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY (EHS).
Vendors
- We rely on many companies to achieve our research goals. While most will be found in Elixir, sometimes you may have to add a new vendor. Luckily, this is an easy process.
- We also use several local vendors for some basic laboratory items.
