Licensing Requirements:
State regulations mandate a valid DVM/MD license and an appropriate facility license (e.g., USDA or NIH) to order veterinary and medical supplies. Orders tied to personal licenses rather than campus-wide licenses will not be processed as they do not meet regulatory standards.
Affected Items (not comprehensive):
Anased/Xylazine, Bupivacaine, Carprofen, Catheters, Isoflurane, IV Fluids (Sodium Chloride, Lactated Ringers, IV Lines), Ketoprofen, Needles, Saline, Sterile Empty Vials, Syringes, T Connectors
Ordering Process:
- Payment Method: PCards are not allowed. Use a Purchase Requisition with account code (purchasing category) 541415 - Veterinarian Medical Supplies.
- Approval Workflow: Orders with COVETRUS will automatically route to Procurement Services for approval by Dr. Akiko Sanders.
- Processing Time: Orders may experience delays. Initiate your requests as early as possible.
New Account Requests: Labs that frequently order these items and have both a DVM/MD license and a matching facility license can request a separate account with COVETRUS to expedite approvals. To set up a new account, email Katie Inglett-Mendoza.
