CSUBuy Procure to Pay (P2P)
CSUBuy Procure to Pay (P2P) is a CSU systemwide initiative. It is designed to streamline procurement and payment operations across the CSU.
Transforming Procurement at Cal State Monterey Bay
Cal State Monterey Bay has implemented the CSUBUY Procure to Pay (P2P) system. This important CSU-wide initiative transforms how we order, receive, and pay for goods and services - delivering a more efficient, transparent, and modern procurement experience.

911ºÚÁϱ¬ÁÏÍø offers three options on procuring goods and services.
Option 1 Commodity and Service Requisition to Purchase Order
For standard or custom purchases through catalog and non-catalog suppliers, use the CSUBuy P2P system. Form requests are entered by department end users and are routed to the Procurement team for Purchase Order (PO) issuance. A PO should be used when a commodity is over $5,000. Anytime there is an associated contract, please email procurement@csumb.edu.
The following showcases are available in CSUBuy P2P:

Option 2 CSUBuy Marketplace
Purchases through the Marketplace are for ProCard only. Computers, laptops, tablets, and any device that stores data cannot be purchased in the eMarketplace. Please use the CSUBuy P2P system for these orders.
Please note that best practice is to access the Marketplace in a separate browser instance from CSUBUY P2P. Using different browsers prevents cross-domain cookie interference and session conflicts, which can result in authentication errors or unintended system behavior.
For questions or support, please email procurement@csumb.edu.
Option 3 Procurement Card (ProCard)
A low-value purchase transaction less than $5,000 will be processed through the use of procurement credit cards (ProCards). ProCard purchases are almost always preferred over a personal reimbursement. For additional information, please visit the ProCard page.
