As the Spring Semester approaches, please remember to plan ahead for your needs. Supply chain issues continue to be a challenge in many industries. Material shortages, delivery delays, increased freight costs, and decreased labor forces are some factors that are expected to continue to create supply chain inconsistencies.
The following are some (not all!) categories which continue to be impacted the most:
Charter buses (driver shortage)
Furniture
Imported goods
Vehicles
Staffing services
The best mitigation to the ongoing supply chain issues is to plan further ahead and place orders as far in advance of fulfillment need as practical. With FY23 budgets set, Purchasing encourages all University departments to plan their order placements ahead as much as possible. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to UA Purchasing for assistance with your purchasing needs.
