The timely procurement of goods and services is driven by the type of product or service requested, accuracy of the specifications provided by the client, and the availability of the product or service. Once a product is successfully located, and/or a service secured, and approved by the client, the processing of the Purchase Order is timely, approximately 48 hours from the date received if departmental funds are available.
