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.

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.

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.
