Conflict Free Minerals On August 27, 2012, Ohio University announced its commitment to the Conflict- Free Campus Initiative. Ohio University released a Statement on Conflict Minerals calling upon industrial producers of electronics equipment to avoid the use of minerals sourced from terrorist-controlled mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The statement supports the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), which attempts to address the growing humanitarian crisis in the DRC. The act specifically addresses Congressional concerns related to the exploitation of minerals in the DRC and their use in electronics that the United States has purchased. Please check out your favorite electronics supplier's position on this humanitarian crisis and support this important initiative in the choices you make for your electronics purchases. http://www.ohio.edu/finance/procuretopay/procurement/conflictfreeminerals.cfm

Why BobcatBUY? Overall goals for Ohio University and the Inter-University Council (IUC)/State of Ohio Negotiate discounts for OHIO Channel more spend to contracted suppliers to allow better leverage on price and terms Institutional and State-Wide savings with better direct spending (IUC) Reduce P-Card Usage to mitigate risk of fraud Shift from P-Card and Direct Payment to Purchase Order which have no pre-approvals for purchases.
BobcatBUY & Huron Report The controls and governance that comes with an eprocurement system are essential to maintaining compliance with laws, regulations, and grant terms and conditions. The previous extent of the Procurement Card program at Ohio presented a very large and very clear regulatory and financial risk to the university. The usage of an eprocurement system with pre-approved vendors and transactions is essential to mitigating risk and supporting university savings targets.
