Don’t miss any important dates as the close of the fiscal year approaches. Below is a schedule of important dates, forum details and tips on navigating supply chain complications to help.
The 2023 Year-End Schedule outlines deadlines that must be met as the budget year ends. Note the contact for each item in the last column if you have questions. For additional year-end information please see our FY2023 Year-End FAQs.
Supply chain interruptions have been headlining news since the early days of the pandemic and economic declines in the manufacturing sector continue to disrupt deliveries in almost every category.
To improve the likelihood that your state-funded purchases will be received prior to yearend, plan on a 4-to-6 week delay in delivery and order very early. Please keep in mind for expenditures that exceed $25,000, competition is required and for an RFP process, expect a 60-day process for award of contract. The FYE 2023 deadlines below are based on Fall 2022 deliveries, intended as a guide (not a guarantee) and actual delivery times will vary.
Reminder: Be sure to use the Budget Override feature in uShop if funding is pending a budget revision. Doing so will save valuable time in order processing.
