Additional Products or Services requiring a Coupa Contract

Additional Products or Services requiring a Coupa Contract

Thank you for your recent Coupa Contract submission. 

As a reminder, NFI’s Official Purchasing Policy requires that all spend be processed through a Coupa purchase order for goods (PO) or an approved Coupa contract for services (serves as a blanket PO). This is not a new policy and is outlined in the annually acknowledged official NFI procurement policy. 

In order to meet our audit requirements, this policy will be strictly enforced.  If you have additional recurring services—such as pest control, preventative facility maintenance, security services, janitorial services, or landscaping—please submit a Coupa contract request through the Coupa homepage and help us make sure your spend is compliant.

For reference, attached is a copy of the NFI Purchasing Policy, along with a guide explaining when to use a Coupa PO versus a Coupa Contract, including instructions on how to submit a Coupa contract request.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at strategicsourcing@nfiindustries.com—we’re always happy to help.
