From: Associate State Director

Subject: Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Deadlines for Submission of Wyoming Purchase Requisitions

Program Area: Acquisition and Engineering

Purpose: This Instruction Memorandum (IM) establishes FY deadlines for submission of Wyoming purchase requests/complete packages. These deadlines will ensure that State Office and District Procurement Staff have the necessary time required to provide quality and timely service to customers. This IM also establishes the deadlines for  submitting projects that require engineering review. The Contracting Officer will be contacted to discuss the proper contracting path prior to submitting any contracts for review. All construction and service projects over the $25,000 threshold must be reviewed by the State Engineer. All projects must be reviewed by the District Engineer prior to submission to the State Office. It is policy that draft packages be submitted to the State Engineer at least three weeks prior to the deadline dates shown below.  Incomplete packages will be sent back for completion. The State Office or Field Office Engineers will provide the review and comments to the requisitioner within 10 working days from the time the project is received for review.
