Important Notice* 2021 Winter Break Deadlines for Procurement Requests

In order to ensure that we can assist with purchase requests that must be completed before the Winter Break, we ask that any approved requisition, including all supporting documentation and/or contract documents, be submitted to the Procurement Office no later than 5PM CST on Friday, November 19, 2021.

Please verify that any expedited purchase request be based on legitimate departmental needs and not on vendors’ requests to have orders placed by the end of the year. 

Please contact your Buyer Team in order to coordinate any urgent request that needs to be processed prior to the Winter Break, and include “2021 Winter Break Rush” in the subject line.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Procurement Office at purchasing@austin.utexas.edu.
