New eVA - Campus Update February 2022

Good Morning!

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 May 2^nd) could impact you. We want you all to be informed that small dollar purchasing this calendar year (typically done through eVA punchout catalogs) should be completed before April 25^th and larger dollar purchases will have longer lead times due to the time frame in which we will be allowed to post solicitations.

Given the continuing supply chain impacts along with the launch of New eVA toward the end of the fiscal year, it will be imperative that departments start thinking about year-end purchases now. 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. For more information about New eVA, please visit our eVA Updates Page.

We hope you have a great semester!
