Prior to Ordering

Ensure that an Amount-Only Proftech Amount-Only Purchase Requisition in CUNYfirst has been set up for the department. For assistance setting up an Amount-Only Purchase Requisition, refer to the How to Create a Proftech Amount Only Purchase Requisition guide.

How to Order

Create an order on the Proftech website. For assistance creating an order, refer to the How to Submit a Proftech Order guide.
Department supervisor and approver approve the order.
Once the order has been submitted, it must be approved by the department supervisor. The Office of Purchasing and Contracting will be notified via e-mail that an order has been placed and approved. For help approving orders, refer to the How to Approve a Proftech Order guide.

Certain items, including, but not limited to, cups, plates, forks, spoons, knives, K-cups, coffee, tea, stirrers, creamer, sugar packets, tissues, napkins, paper towels, cleaning supplies, utility knives, hand trucks, heaters/fans, lamps, gloves, and medications, require a letter of justification.

The purchase of coffee makers, refrigerators, and microwave ovens using Tax-Levy funds is not permitted.

Letters of justification may be submitted to Arijit Dhillon at BCProftech@brooklyn.cuny.edu. To ensure faster processing, letters of justification may be submitted prior to the placement of a Proftech order.

Proftech Amount-Only Change Orders

Once the change order request has been processed and the Purchase Order has been approved and dispatched, the Office of Budget will adjust the available funds in your Proftech account. Please note that this process may take several business days.
