Procurement 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.

Immediate Guidance and Procurement Response Plan ATU Procurement released an RFP for promotional items to include a dedicated site for order placement. This RFP is currently in the evaluation phase with a committee of members from various university departments. The site will contain a list of promotional items that will be compliant with Act 943 requirements. Until a contract is in place, departments must reach out to Procurement prior to purchase to establish a purchasing plan. We will share more information as the RFP process progresses. In the meantime, if your department needs to purchase promotional items, please review any planned promotional purchases and delay future orders unless compliance with Act 943 can be independently verified.
