What's new in Procurement?

Procurement Services is presenting the First Annual SpearMart Supplier Show. All Faculty and Staff are invited to come out to the event

May 13th from 9-3 at the Oglesby Union Ballroom.

This event will offer opportunities to meet supplier representatives, discover new products and services, learn about SpearMart, and meet Procurement Services and Accounts Payables team members.

Come join in the fun and enjoy refreshments and register to win cool prizes.

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.

We have completely re-written our Procurement of Commodities and Contractual Services Policy (4-OP-A-6). Key highlights include:

  • Procedures removed from policy, updated, and placed on Procurement Services website
