Now is the time to Plan for Upcoming Purchases

This semester has been underway for a couple of weeks now and hopefully everyone is back in their “normal” routine…as normal as it can be during this time.  Please begin thinking about items you need to order for projects you are planning this summer.  In about 12 weeks the spring semester will be over, and thoughts will turn to these summer projects.  By planning ahead, you can avoid any unanticipated lead times or speed bumps along the way.  Purchasing manages over 200 approved, standing contracts that cover a wide variety of products and services.  Also, if the items you need have to be competitively bid, planning ahead will allow enough time for that process which normally takes 3 to 4 weeks.  Please contact the appropriate Senior Buyer to assist with any questions you have about upcoming purchases. Please refer to our Purchasing Guidelines for additional information.
