Kelsey Kilian

I am a friendly Procurement Associate who provides purchasing guidance for purchases over $10,000.00, and support to departments across all four campuses, covering various aspects of the procurement process. This includes helping staff and faculty members navigate SmartBuyMSU, supplier requests, approving invoices, managing purchase requisitions, understanding solicitation processes, and handling contracting. I ensure departmental compliance with MSU, state, and federal laws, rules, policies, and procedures. Additionally, I assist MSU staff via the e-procurement helpdesk with general procurement questions, Banner encumbrances and index changes. I am responsible for drafting contract amendments and change orders to reflect any adjustments to contracts or purchase orders. Furthermore, I approve BPAs, invoices and serve as a SmartBuyMSU Approver for Procurement.
