What's new in Procurement?

The National Procurement Institute has awarded FSU's Procurement Services the 2015 Achievement of Excellence in Procurement award for demonstrating excellence in innovation, professionalism, productivity, e-procurement, and leadership attributes of the procurement organization.

 

During the 9.2 upgrade the OMNI Financials system will be down from May 19th at 5:00 pm through May 25th.  Please plan ahead and ensure your requisitions are submitted and approved no later than May 15th so they can be processed to POs prior to the down time.  Requisitions received past this date may not be processed prior to the system going down. Any SpearMart orders not submitted and approved by 4:00 PM on May 15th will have to be cancelled and re-done when the system comes up after the upgrade.

Price adjustments go into effect this weekend (3/21 - 3/22/15) for the Office Depot contract.  Prices may fluctuate up or down depending upon the item being purchased. If you have started an Office Depot requisition or have initiated an Office Depot shopping cart, please complete your purchase before this weekend.

Procurement Services has established a new email address specifically for software related purchases. Please direct any future questions relating to a software purchase or a submitted software request to Procurement-Software@fsu.edu.

Congratulations to Sarah Schreck, Program Associate for Student Government at the FSU Panama City Campus who won an HP scanner.

This is due to the introduction of Mixed Content Blockers by both browser manufacturers. If you encounter such a problem using either one of these internet browsers, please follow the simple steps listed below to resolve the problem.

 

We are pleased to inform you of some new and exciting changes coming to eMarket beginning October 20th, 2014

  1. New name and logo. In an effort to capture the spirit of FSU, we have renamed eMarket to SpearMart, and have replaced the old shopping cart logo with the following:

We want to alert you to a nationwide fraud scam that is targeting suppliers at colleges across the country. Please take precautions so that you are not a victim of this scam.

The fraud scam involves purchase orders and requests for product quotations that purport to originate from the University but are in fact fraudulent.
