Flowers / Floral Arrangements | Procurement Services | SIU

Flowers may be purchased for banquets, conferences, and public functions; however, no State accounts may be used.

No flowers may be purchased on any account for personal gifts (such as birthdays, retirement, Secretary’s day, employee illness, office decoration, etc.). Departmental donations must be solicited for these purchases.

Departments wishing to send flowers for funerals must solicit donations from members of their department, or others, but no departmental accounts may be used.

Exception:
Flowers may be purchased for lab use, in which they will be used to conduct research or experiments. Purchases of this type can be made from any account, but must be noted as research material.
