New eVA - Campus Update November 2021

Procurement Services is writing to all Faculty and Staff to update you on the launch of the state’s new eProcurement system, eVA. While you may not use eVA, the transition to the new system (slated for December 30^th 2021 – January 3^rd 2022) could impact you. We want all to be informed that small dollar purchasing this calendar year (typically done through eVA punchout catalogs) should be completed no later than December 13^th. Larger dollar purchases will have longer lead times due to eVA restricting solicitations from being posted, as a result, these will not be processed until January 2022. The sooner you can involve Procurement with your needs, the better!

Even if you do not have direct purchasing responsibilities, please keep in communication with those that handle the purchasing for your department so your needs can be met. We will be working closely with those that have eVA access to offer more information about the transition and to provide training. Further communications on the transition will be sent only to those on the eVA listserv.

Thanks to everyone in advance for planning ahead and remaining flexible as we transition from one platform to another under the state’s direction.
