| Submitting Purchase Requests |
All customers of the Regional Contracting Office must submit all purchase requests (PR) through the web-based Purchase Request Builder (PR Builder) program. |
All units requesting access to PR Builder must contact the RCO to set up an account. The above link for the PR Builder Guide is provided to assist you as you use PR Builder.
All first time users of PR Builder are required to attend PR training prior to logging onto PR Builder. PR Builder now has the ability to interface with SABRS to automatically commit funds. See PR Builder > |
| PR Builder Guide |
| The below instructions (MS POWERPOINT Slides) will provide to assist you as you use PR Builder. It is the same training we provide in your initial training with us at the RCO. |
|
| PR Builder Training |
PR Builder training is held quarterly at MCRD Parris Island. Additional training can also be held for customers in need of one-on-one assistance.
For training schedule and information, please call the RCO Systems Administrative at (843) 228-2180. |
|
| Route Through Mandatory Approvers |
| Each office must setup electronic workflows that at a minimum route through a funds administrator and a supervisor (they can be the same person) to view the Purchase Request prior to reaching RCO. There are also mandatory approvers that apply for the following requirements: |
- Audio/Visual equipment must be routed through Combat Camera
- ADP equipment must be routed through the G-6.
- Any single item or system requirement exceeding $100K must be routed through the Property Control Office (DPCO).
- DPCO must approve all furniture requisitions.
- Depot Failities Maintenance must approve purchases of signs or changes to existing structures.
|
| Reasons Returning PR To Sender |
Writing a good performance work statement or requirements definition will aid us greatly in the procurement of your requisition and decrease the acquisition lead-time. See Requirements Definition/Performance Work Statement page>
The RCO will return a PR to the sender for correction for any of the following reasons: |
- Funding not provided
- Routed incorrectly
- Required waivers not provided
- Sole source justification required
- Urgency Justification (for priority 01-06)
|
| See How it works >> |
| If a PR is returned disapproved, the customer need only correct the deficiency and resubmit. Contact the RCO POC for clarification if necessary. |
