We are pleased to announce that Procurement Services and Enterprise Resource Planning are currently engaged in a project to significantly expand the capabilities of SpearMart, FSU’s online electronic procurement system, hosted by Jaggaer.

REMINDER - Friday, June 24th is the last day for FY16 SpearMart orders. All SpearMart requisitions must be submitted and approved by 12-noon (ET). Requisition pre-entry will be available Monday, June 27, 2016 through Tuesday, June 28, 2016. For additional year-end closeout details, visit http://calendar.fsu.edu/Lists/Finance%20and%20Reporting%20Services/calendar.aspx

After several months of negotiations, FSU now has a new agreement in place with Office Depot. The new agreement is the result of a Joint effort among several universities within the State University System of Florida yielding deep discounted pricing that will be held firm for first 12 months of the contract term. In addition, FSU's top 250 items were reviewed and added to an FSU specific customer core list with a minimum 5% aggregate savings over current pricing.

We've created an electronic marketing initiative to help promote the utilization of SpearMart participating suppliers. You will find the latest products and promotions offered from each of these suppliers by visiting their webpages on our Supplier Showcase web portal. We encourage you to support these strategic business partners.

Procurement Specialist, Joyce Cordell, will retire this month after 41 years of FSU service. We are proud of her service and her contributions to campus and will miss her.

Departments have not had the ability to search open PO items (waiting to be received) by Department ID since the OMNI Financials Upgrade to 9.2. We created a query as an alternate solution to better assist departments. The name of this query is FSU_DPT_PENDING_RECEIPTS. Please click here for directions on how to use this query.
