Procurement Help Email

Procurement Shared Services (PSS) has created a Procurement Help inbox to better serve all our university inquiries. This email address allows PSS to expand its support services by adding additional resources from the PSS team. This inbox will allow Kutztown users to ask Procurement and SourcePoint Procurement questions to a broader PSS audience. This team will consist of the liaison that Kutztown has been working with (Angela Jackson) and additional team members. Please begin to use procurementhelp@passhe.edu for all of your procurement-specific questions or questions concerning the entry of your Purchase Requisition (PR) or Purchase Order (PO) processing. If you have any questions concerning this change, please contact procurementhelp@passhe.edu.
