Blanket orders are used for transactions that occur very frequently (daily or multiple times a week), have a high variation of product types, have undetermined timing, and are not available in Buckeye Buy.
All FY23 UNIV blanket purchase orders must be issued outside of Buckeye Buy. Requestors should select the “blanket purchase order” requisition type and complete the request per the Create a Blanket Purchase Order job aid found in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC). Please note, the "Request Date" of the requisition should not be future dated . University funded blanket requisitions should align with the July through June fiscal year calendar.
FY23 blanket order requisitions must be received by Central Purchasing between Monday, April 18 and Thursday, June 30 to allow for adequate processing time.
Please review the full NewsLink article for more details about Blanket Order guidelines.
University Stores Warehouse, through the Buckeye Buy portal, supplies the university-issued two-part deposit bags that units across campus utilize for their cash and check deposits through either university deposit centers or directly through the armored carrier. In the past, these bags have been provided at no cost.
Effective immediately, there will be a nominal charge for the deposit bags. Going forward, the bags will be available to order through Buckeye Buy, at $9.00 for a pack of 50 bags (.18 cents per bag) .
Please note, bags are currently on order with our vendor but are experiencing long lead times with delivery. We ask during this time that you are mindful of the stock and only order bags if you are completely out. In the interim we ask you work with other units in your college or office to share bags until the supply can be replenished. We thank you for your understanding.
If you have questions about this change, please contact Amy McMahon in Treasury or David McDonald at OSU Stores.
