Vendor’s Warrant
Hold Status
State agencies and institutions of
higher education are required to verify a
vendor’s warrant hold status prior to making
any purchase or entering into any contract,
except for emergency purchases and P-Card
purchases of $500 or less. Effective
November 1, 2008, the Comptroller’s Office
increased the threshold for verifying a
vendor’s warrant hold status from $150 to
$500 for emergency purchases and P-Card
purchases.
Due to this change,
departments/cardholders are now required to
verify a vendor’s warrant hold status before
making all non-emergency purchases paid or
reimbursed on a voucher, entering into any
contract, or making any emergency or P-Card
purchases for more than $500. This
requirement applies to both state and local
fund purchases. Instructions for checking
vendor hold status can be found on the
Finance
References
page (under Vendor Hold Status).
The
following policy will be updated
accordingly:
