Procurement Services Year End Deadlines

Author: Diane Kennedy

As we look forward to the holiday break, Procurement Services would like to provide the following
guidelines to assist in planning end-of-year requests:

  1. Contract Requests: Please submit your requests no later than Friday, December 5th, to ensure review prior to the break. Please note that the timeline for completing contract reviews is contingent upon the responsiveness of all parties involved.

  2. Requisitions: buyND requisitions should reach Procurement’s queue (Commodity Review) no later than Friday, December 12th, to allow time for Procurement to properly review and approve requests prior to the break. As a reminder:

    • Multiple departmental or grant approvals may be required prior to a requisition reaching the Procurement queue.

    • Proper documentation must accompany each requisition. (e.g., Requisitions valued above $50K require competitive quotes, a competitively-bid contract, or a valid sole source justification.)

  3. Supplier Adds: Supplier Adds will be processed if received by Friday, December 19th.

Although we make every effort to process all requests received prior to the break, priority will be given to those received before the dates shown above.

Thank you for your understanding, and Happy Holidays from the Procurement Services team!
