What's new in Procurement?

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.

The Big Bend Minority Enterprise Development (MED Week) Committee will host its 23rd Annual MED Week “Emerging Markets and Industries: A Blueprint for Success” on September 27-October 1, 2015, to recognize the diligent efforts and contributions of minority owned firms in Tallahassee and its surrounding areas. The MED Week organization was established by Presidential Proclamation in 1983 to recognize the outstanding achievements of MBEs and to honor those corporations and/or financial institutions that support minority business development.

To add a new supplier for processing a PO, please use our new supplier setup process (Click here for the New FSU Substitute IRS Form W9). The new process is paperless and leverages electronic signature technology and automatically routes the completed form to our office. We appreciate your support as we continue to enhance our service to you and our supplier community.

If you are creating a requisition for an Operating Capital Outlay (OCO) item (Costs $5000 or more with life expectancy of year or more), you must change the category code from an EXP code to an OCO code once the cart is brought into the Requisition. See pages 21-26 of the Job Aid titled “Requesters” for addtional details.

As part of our new E&I contract with Lowe’s, we have brand new key fobs to replace your existing fobs for P-Card holders wishing to purchase items from the local Lowe’s locations. These can be scanned in the store at check out so that you may receive a 5% discount that is not currently provided outside SpearMart.

If you would like to have a key fob (or fobs!), please send Geneva Miller your university mail code and she will send them to you via campus mail or you may pick them up in the Procurement Services Department.
