Procurement

Beginning Tuesday, May 26, Purchase Orders created for the purpose of requesting No-Cost Agreements and Revenue Agreements – Agreement Review Forms numbered 5 through 9 in Aggie Enterprise – will be “Finally Closed” by Procurement & Contracting Services once they have completed review of the agreement. While the status of the PO will be “Finally Closed,” there will be no impact on the ability to use the agreement, as these documents are essentially a mechanism for requesting an agreement review.

The current Administration recently announced significant tariffs that will impact nearly all trading partners of the United States.

Considering the uncertainty this creates, it is imperative that we take proactive measures to mitigate disruptions. 

The most effective and actionable step is to prioritize the use of UC systemwide contracted suppliers whenever possible.

Beginning Monday, March 31, a new webform will be used to make requests for Carve Outs to UC’s Covered Services policy.

PaymentWorks will be a new supplier portal for streamlining the supplier onboarding process.
