Purchasing Deadlines for the End of the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year

Posted:

The 2025–2026 fiscal year for SUNY institutions closes June 30, 2026. For this reason, purchase requests for supplies, materials, services, and equipment from fiscal year 2025–2026 funds must be submitted through Bengal Buy by the close of business on the following dates:

Furniture orders
Monday, April 13

Software orders
Friday, April 24

All other orders requiring a purchase order
Friday, May 15

To make ordering at the end of fiscal year effective for everyone, please plan departmental needs as far in advance as possible to ensure that orders for goods and services are placed before the cutoff dates. Submitting requests well before the cutoff dates will provide Procurement Services with the necessary time to process orders before the deadlines.

It is the responsibility of departments to ensure that all purchase requests for fiscal year 2025–2026 are submitted to Bengal Buy by 5:00 p.m. on the above deadline dates. Requests received after the deadlines will be held until the start of the next fiscal year.

Active P-Cards may continue to be used throughout the transition period for authorized transactions without interruption.
