What's new in Procurement?

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.

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.
