NON-STOCK/EMERGENCY NEEDS
Requested items that are not on hand or not stocked, and are needed immediately, are handled on an individual basis. Central Stores attempts to find a local Vendor that carries the item, then once a Vendor is identified, proceeds to use a Blanket Purchase Order or "Rush" Purchase Order and sends a Central Stores employee to obtain the item.
Non-stocked items that are not urgent in nature are handled either as new stock items, or ordered as a special order for the individual department.
