procureable

Procureable is an adjective meaning capable of being procured or obtained. It is used to describe goods, services, information, or permissions that can be acquired through purchase, negotiation, or other formal processes. The term is most common in procurement, logistics, and policy contexts, where distinguishing procureable items from those that are not available is important for planning and compliance.

Origin and spelling: The word is formed from the verb procure plus the suffix -able. Variant spellings include procureable and procurable; the exact form may vary by region or style guide. The related noun forms include procurability or procureability, referring to the state or property of being procureable.

Usage: In procurement documentation and supply chain discussions, a procureable item is one for which an actionable path to acquisition exists within current constraints, such as budget, regulatory clearance, and supplier availability. In contrast, non-procureable items are blocked by factors like scarcity, legal restrictions, or funding gaps. The term can also be used in broader contexts to indicate information or permissions that are accessible through established channels.
