How can I obtain supplies and equipment?
The way to order supplies and equipment is through ReQlogic, PAVIR’s electronic purchase order requisition system. Contact Purchasing to obtain a ReQlogic login ID and to learn how to use this system.

How do I get reimbursed if I used personal funds to purchase research supplies?
To ensure pre-negotiated product pricing and to avoid unallowable (i.e., non-reimbursable) expenditures, PAVIR does not encourage reimbursement check requests for research supplies. You are strongly encouraged to use the Purchase Requisition form. In the rare instances wherein you find it necessary to purchase research supplies with your personal funds, submit a completed Check Request form with original receipts to the PAVIR office for review and approval.

How can I designate a staff member to order supplies for my study?
In order to approve expenditures charged to a PI’s account(s) there must be a Delegation of Authority for PAVIR Accounts (DAPA) for anyone other than the PI whose three letter PI code is in the PAVIR Account. DAPA requests are submitted and managed on RDIS. Signature stamps are not acceptable.

How do I order a computer through PAVIR?
Complete a purchase requisition via ReQlogic and include a Request for Electronic Devices form.
To ensure compliance with VA and Stanford policies regarding their use or connection to the networks, we strongly encourage that all computers and computer-related purchases be purchased via a PAVIR requisition. If you purchase a computer yourself and then seek reimbursement, your reimbursement request may be denied.

I ordered a computer through PAVIR. Will it be delivered directly to my office?

End users intending to connect to the VA network must submit a work order and drop off their computer in order to have the proper software installed.
