PROCUREMENT SERVICES NEWSLETTER
Fourth Quarter Edition December 2019
From the Director’s Desk Dear UAMS Family,
This has been an challenging yet amazing year for Procurement Services and Supply Chain. I have been with UAMS over 40 years now and each year has its unique opportunities for growth! As I look back over the years from starting out as the secretary to the Director of Procurement Services to now the Director of Procurement Services, I could not have done it without the support of each of you. I have learned so much from my interactions with others at UAMS and the good days have certainly outweighed the bad days. The holidays are a reminder of the im-portance of family and friends. But the truth is, when you spend as much time at work as you do at home, those you work with become more than just your co-workers; they become family. As I like to say – UAMS is not just where Medicine Lives….it’s where I live!!! I am thank-ful for my Procurement Services and Supply Chain Family, our current Administration, and my entire UAMS Family.
I wish each of you a a Happy 2020 New Year!
Medical Buyer

Purchasing Keeps Getting Better!
For improved access to state contract infor-mation where you can purchase without bid-ding, visit the Procurement website for a list of Mandatory State Contracts, click on State & Co-Op Contract Information!
You can track the status of your requisition by clicking on the ‘status’ tab. This will tell you if the requisition is in release or release completed. If a requisition has been processed, it will also show the assigned PO number.
You can track the status of your PO and find your all your signed documents in Application Xtender within your assigned PO number.
If you have a quote number be sure to enter this information in the item text on the requisition, along with any other special information that must be sent to the vendor. The information in this area will automatically pull and print on the PO for the vendor’s reference.
Procurement has a great tool to help gather quotes for purchases, to simplify the quoting process and for purchases below the bid threshold. Contact a manager/supervisor for more details.
When processing Check with Orders be sure to remove the goods receipt, if the box is left checked and we don’t catch it, the check will be held up waiting on you to MIGO the PO.
When submitting a requisition for the P-Card, please use buyer “CC” this queue is monitored by several buyers for faster processing times.
WELCOME
