Good Morning College Community, The FY 2026 year-end processes will soon be underway. Below are key purchasing deadlines and other important dates for your review. Please ensure that this information is shared with relevant individuals within your departments. Note that the dates outlined in this document reflect York College’s deadlines for both Tax Levy and Non-Tax Levy activities. Procurement: • Purchase Requisitions: All purchase requisitions for FY 2026 must be fully approved and received in the Procurement Office by April 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM. This allows adequate time to process and issue purchase orders, ensuring goods and services are received by the June 30, 2026 fiscal year-end deadline. • State Financial System (SFS) Closure: The SFS will be closed for approximately two weeks at the end of March 2026 to accommodate NYS annual fiscal year-end processing. During this period, the Purchasing Department will be unable to issue purchase orders, as CUNYFirst/CUNYBuy will not interface with SFS. However, CUNYBuy will remain open, allowing you to enter requisitions and record receipts for goods and services as they are received. • Confirming Orders: Do not place confirming orders (orders made without a purchase order) All purchases must be approved by the Procurement Office. • Outstanding Purchase Orders: Please review your current purchase orders to ensure that all deliveries will be made by June 30, 2026. Any items received after this date will be charged to FY 2026. • Remaining Purchase Order Balances: Check remaining balances on your purchase orders to ensure all vendor invoices are received and forwarded to Accounts Payable.
