We survey the recent literature on the use of spot market operations to manage procurement in supply chains. We present results in two categories: work that deals with optimal procurement strategies and work related to the valuation of procurement contracts. As an example of the latter, we provide new results on valuation of a supply contract with abandonment option. Based on our review, we also discuss the scope for doing further work.
