requisitions

Formal orders for supplies

Requisitions are formal demands or requests, typically for supplies, equipment, or personnel.

The term carries official weight—a requisition isn't a casual ask but a documented claim, often within bureaucratic or military systems: The department submitted requisitions for new computers.

To requisition something is to formally request or commandeer it: The army requisitioned vehicles from local farmers.
