Description:
ISU Catering may be used for many catering needs. Outside caterers may also be used if they have been authorized by ISU. You can find a list of current Approved Food/Beverage Vendors here. Please note that alcohol service requires additional approval and must be coordinated through the Office of Risk Management.
ISU requires that all suppliers providing food/alcohol services at an ISU facility meet minimum requirements. Suppliers not on the list are not allowed to cater events at ISU facilities until they provide the required documents. It is not ISU’s intent to exclude any supplier from providing services to ISU, but rather to ensure the safety of our students/staff and all other parties involved.
For information on becoming an Approved Food/Beverage Vendor, please see Risk Management's Approved Food/Beverage Vendor page.
Departments may contact approved suppliers and obtain a quote for their event. Departments may use their Travel and Hospitality (T&H) Card as long as it is within their transaction limits. If it is over their T&H Card transaction limits then a requisition will need to be submitted prior to the event. Any agreements for services shall be signed by an ISU Procurement Agent.
