Early Start of Fiscal Year 2025 Requisitions:
The early bird gets the worm…you may begin entering your known 2025 requisitions early, including annual Blanket Orders. SSC Procurement recommends starting around May 6, 2024. Please keep in mind, SSC Procurement will complete these requisitions to be released as a Purchase Order when Finance opens the new fiscal year, approximately July 8, 2024. |
Please Note: The deadlines above relate only to procurements. Fiscal Services will issue a separate deadline memo in the coming weeks.
You may contact the SSC Customer Engagement Team at 877-340-5577 or help@ssc.vccs.edu if you have any questions.
