New Campus-wide Print Solution

Posted on by

The University is implementing a campus-wide print solution to improve the simplicity and security of print release functionality.

As part of this initiative, UConn is working toward a standardized fleet of print equipment. This will allow for more consistent and efficient support and help reduce long-term costs for departments by centralizing purchasing and maintenance.

FY27 Blanket Orders and Requisitions

Posted on by

HuskyBuy, on February 9 will be ready for submission of new requisitions and blanket PO requests for FY27.  These orders will be released on the last day of the Fiscal Year, Tuesday, 6/30.  For Blanket Orders you can create a new requisition by navigating to the HuskyBuy shopping home page and select the Non-Catalog Blanket Order form.

Please be cognizant of lead times for the procurement of various goods and services.  Software and cloud services renewals typically require IT Security review and may contain terms and conditions that will take the University some time to negotiate with the Supplier.  We highly recommend these renewals be quoted and submitted ASAP.

Please also be aware, it is important to decide upfront if you will need quantity or non-quantity, specifically in regard to invoicing. If you know ahead of time you will have multiple invoices to pay against your PO, you should make sure to setup your PO as one of the following:

  • Blanket Order (All Blanket Orders are considered non-quantity by default)
  • Non Quantity
  • Quantity order with enough quantities listed to cover the number of invoices posted and funds to cover the costs
  • When in doubt about having multiple invoices make sure to use non-quantity

Reminder:

  • A reminder regarding this process will be sent in March and will include any new updates, such as other end of year 2026 fiscal deadlines that may impact procurement activities
