Where to Send SPQs

Service Provider Questionnaires (SPQs) should be sent to the Central Accounting office that will be reviewing the Purchase Requisition.

Please DO NOT send SPQs to Purchasing.

Also, if you fax the SPQ to the accounting office, it is not necessary to follow up by sending the original through the mail.

As a reminder, SPQs are required to be submitted with all PRs for services. However, before submitting an SPQ, check to see if your vendor has been approved as a Universal Service Provider. Find out how to do this by clicking here. If an SPQ is on file, be sure to include the conflict of interest wording in the Document Text of the PR in LoboMart.

In addition, you might want to check on the Purchasing website for a list of service providers who have contracts with UNM. These providers are generally law firms, construction contractors, etc. If the service provider you will be using is on this list, and the scope of services is similar to those in the contract (noted in the Description column), you do not need to provide an SPQ. However, in the Document Text of the PR, you will need to indicate that the service provider is on the University Contracts list, and include the Contract number. Click here to link to the Purchasing website. Then click on the link for UNM Contract Numbers. Please note that you will be required to login with your UNM Net ID and password to access this list.
