Green P-card Purchasing

In conjunction with the Maryland Department of General Services and UMBC's Office of Sustainability, Procurement hosted two live sessions this month about Green Procurement Card (P-card) purchases.

This webinar covered what is green purchasing, legislative requirements, how to find green products with popular suppliers, and how to make sure green purchases are reported appropriately.

Whether you were able to attend or not, you can now access a copy of the slides (attached).

Feel free to reach out to us at https://procurement.umbc.edu/contact-us/ should you have any questions and be sure to be on the lookout for future training opportunities.

Action Needed: Help Us Resolve Apple Credit Hold

Together, we can get Apple orders back on track.

The university is currently on Credit Hold with Apple due to outstanding balances. To help us resolve this quickly and restore normal ordering, we need your assistance.

If you have received an Apple order, please take a moment to ensure that a receipt has been entered in PAW. Promptly recording receipts allows invoices to be paid without delay and helps us maintain good standing with our vendors.

Your cooperation makes a big difference. By working together and keeping our orders up to date in PAW, we can resolve this credit hold and continue uninterrupted access to Apple products and services.

Thank you for your attention and partnership in keeping our processes running smoothly.
