CRITICAL DEADLINES

Purchase order cutoff dates:

• March 13, 2026 - Non-contract requisitions over $100,000. (Non-contract items are not available on state or agency contracts.)

Project requests and purchases:

• March 13, 2026 - Requests that require scope development and/or design components (Ex. Renovation, paint, carpet, HVAC, electrical, furniture, etc.) should be received in the Facilities Planning Office by March 13, 2026.

If you have any questions, please contact Ranee Parker at (478) 445-8607.

Reminder - Monthly Expenses:

• As your department considers projected expenses for year-end needs, please be aware of any expenses that do not encumber and are posted on a monthly basis. Examples include Verizon Wireless, VoIP, purchasing card (P-Card), transportation, Print Shop, Bookstore, bank card and postage. Be mindful of these needs to ensure sufficient departmental funds are available to support these expenses.
