Requisitions, Purchase Agreements and Vendor Requests associated with those REQs and PAs, must be in the KFS Action List of Supplier Services by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, December 7th in order to be processed prior to the winter holidays.

Procurement and Contracting Services will be closed for the university winter holidays on Dec. 23rd, 24th, 30th ,  and Jan. 2nd.  Limited services will be available Tuesday, Dec. 27th – Thursday Dec. 29th.

Please note: If a requisition/agreement requires a competitive bid, extensive negotiation, or signature by a 2nd party, it may not be completed before the winter holidays, even if submitted by the December 7th deadline.

Out of fairness to all, requisitions/agreements are completed on a first-in, first-out basis, with rush requests limited to those meeting the definition of an emergency. We suggest that any end-of-year discounts offered by suppliers come with a 30-day price guarantee to allow time after the holiday closure for completion.

We appreciate your understanding and support. We look forward to assisting you with your procurement needs now and in 2023!
