Universities may vary, but the one I'm familiar with forbids automatic recurring charges on a p-card (credit card), whether it's $9/month or $900. They want a paper recipt for EVERY charge, even if it's $0.10.

Any variance requrires a manager to complete an "exception to protocol" form which is routed to about 6 people to approve.

For cases like this, it's probably going to be easier to just have a yearly price which you invoice yearly (cron job + email would do) than to go through the bureaucratic overhead of getting an automatic monthly charge approved.
