This issue has been resolved:

What is the procedure for departments ordering Items over $50,000?

1. When not on a U-Wide Contract:

• Create the Requisition as directed - Purchasing Services has an internal workaround, and POs will be sourcing out. This does include CPS transactions as well.
  

2. When on a U-Wide Contract, up to $249,999:

• Create the Requisition as directed. Be sure to reference the contract number in the Contract ID field.

• Note: If the U-Wide Contract date is expired, remove the referenced contract from the Contract ID field. This will cause the requisition to route to Purchasing Services.
