Deadlines for procurement processes using Fiscal Year 2026 funds.  

FY2026 funds may be used as long as the purchase order or contract is executed prior to June 30th. To ensure your procurement can be processed in time, we have established the following deadlines for receipt of your completed Non-Catalog Purchase Requisition:

  •   Procurements that require a formal solicitation process Request for Proposal (criteria other than low cost) or  Invitation for Bid (awarded to low cost alone): Friday, April 3, 2026
  •   Requisitions for Sole Source purchases should be submitted by May 1, 2026 
  •   Procurements that do not require a competitive process (i.e. Sole Source, procurement exempt, etc.): Monday, June 1. Requisitions after this date will be worked on but are not guaranteed to be complete or invoiced by FYE.

Remember that although FY2026 purchases will take priority, these deadlines only apply to procurements that must use FY2026 funding.  If you have procurements with FY2027 funding you can continue to submit as normal.

Please indicate the funding year clearly on your purchase requisition, as this will help us ensure prompt processing.
