Procurement and Risk Management Services is a unit established to support the educational and research missions of Arkansas Tech University. Our department is staffed by procurement professionals who have the requisite knowledge, skills and training to assist University personnel in the purchase of required goods and services. This expertise insures that procurement decisions will be made in the best interest of the University and in compliance with the State of Arkansas procurement law and University policies. According to Arkansas Code Annotated (A.C.A.) § 19-11-703 Statement of Policy, "public employment is a public trust." As a guardian of public trust, all ATU employees should execute duties as a State employee with the utmost integrity.

NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Updated Index Codes for Academic Affairs Departments Effective July 1, 2022
  
  In support of the upcoming academic restructuring, new budget index codes have been established for departments within each college. The new codes will be effective July 1, 2022. We ask that the departments begin using the new codes July 1, 2022 on all documents that require an index. Examples include purchasing and travel requisitions, post office charge slips, FAMA project requests, budget transfer requests, student labor requests, etc. Unfortunately any use of former codes will result in automatic document cancellation and resubmission by the user will be needed. There have been some changes to organization codes. Please pay particular attention to this information on the updated idex list that has been provided to AA users. If your organization has changed, be sure to use the new number where required such as PCard logs or FAMA project request forms.
