University purchasers may encounter delays in processing contracts and issuing purchase orders due to Purchasing Services staff turnover and leaves during the University’s hiring freeze. Purchasing Services is working to address the highest priority requests as quickly as possible and is rebalancing workloads. We ask for your patience during this adjustment time.
Additionally, it will greatly assist in timely and efficient processing if University purchasers are able to submit complete contract requests and purchase requisitions that include all necessary supporting documentation. Using the requisition checklist and services agreement checklist can help University purchasers in submitting proper requests.
The purchase request turnaround times listed on the status inquiries page may not be accurate due to these adjustments.
