The Purchasing Department understands that urgent (non-health/safety emergency) requests happen from time to time.  However, to minimize the disruption of processing Requisitions submitted by District-wide Requesters, please limit urgent requests to absolute necessities.  It is important that Requesters plan ahead and submit their Requisitions in advance (recommended 2-3 weeks for non-contracted request to allow for approvals and for the vendor to send/deliver items) to preclude an urgent situation.  This will ensure that the Purchasing Department can provide its best service to the District's faculty, staff, students, and community.

If you have an urgent request, please email purchasing@avc.edu with the following information:

1. Subject:  Urgent Requisition # RXXXXXXX
2. Body:  What is being requested and when it is needed by

Your point of contact buyer will respond with a course of action.
