Sam’s Club Department Business Account:

Departments can also get an individual business membership account. There is a $40 annual membership fee for setting up an individual business membership account with Sam’s Club. These accounts will be setup to allow for sales tax exemption and will be tied to a departmental P-Card. The P-Card policy on allowable/non-allowable expenses will apply to any purchase that is made through Sam’s Club. Departments will be required to provide justification for spending the $40 membership fees out of budget.

To request a department account, the following information will need to be emailed to Isaac Balasundaram in Procurement Services (IsaacBalasundaram@MissouriState.edu):

• Department name:
