REQUISITION DEADLINES FOR PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT
Federal and State regulations and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) mandate that all financial transactions and activities be recorded in the accounting period they were made. That necessarily means that all materials, supplies, equipment, and services ordered by District staff in any fiscal year must be fully paid for and received by the District within that fiscal year. To meet this requirement, the Procurement Department asks that staff submit requisitions for purchase orders (“PO”) as soon as possible in order to allow sufficient time for processing and delivery of the orders. To help staff plan for this, the Procurement Department is proving the following guidelines.
- Staff must submit requisitions for PO for (i) orders over $1,500.00 regardless of the items; (ii) computer equipment, audio-visual equipment, furniture over $500.00; and (iii) computer software over $200.00. These values are inclusive of sale tax and any delivery and handling charges.
- Allow sufficient time for the Procurement Department to source the requested items, receive quotes/bids for those items, and generate a PO.
- Allow at least one month from the time the PO is issued for the vendor to deliver the requested items.
- Orders for the school sites must be delivered to and received by school staff before the end of the school year.
- Vouchers for payment for items received by staff must be submitted in GoFAST for processing before the end of the fiscal year.
Deadline to use FY 23 Funds
The table below shows the dates by which approved requisitions must be submitted in GoFAST for processing final order to use FY 23 funds. The deadlines are strict and any requisitions for PO received after the corresponding date will be denied and referred back to the requisitioner. The deadlines apply to all District’s program as well including Summer school programs and Federal and State programs which have a fiscal year end date of June 30th. Requisitions returned to the requisitioners can be resubmitted on July 1, 2023 using FY 24 funds. All POs issued will be marked as follows to notify vendors accordingly.
