On occasion, the university requires the services of a professional service provider.
A professional service provider (PSP) is an independent contractor or company that provides infrequent, technical, or specialized services to Rutgers.

Departments seeking to hire a Professional Service Provider must review the Engagement and Payment of Professional Service Provider Policy which outlines in detail the steps required to engage and pay for professional service providers. 

The Professional Service Provider Matrix is designed to assist departments with determining the type of RIAS requisition to create and the forms that need to be attached.  Please note that this matrix is a guide and does not list all possible professional service providers.  Departments are encouraged to find the professional service provider description that best matches the area and if you are still unclear on what paperwork to use please contact Purchasing.
