Emergency procurement is defined as the acquisition of commodities or services exceeding $5,000.00, which, if not immediately initiated, will endanger human life, health, or the functional capability of the University. POLICY The UAMS Director of Procurement Services or an officially designated representative shall approve all emergency procurements in advance. However, since many UAMS departments operate on a 24-hour per day basis, prior approval of procurements for emergency situations occurring outside normal business hours may not be possible. Where time or circumstance does not permit prior approval, approval must be obtained at the earliest practical date. PROCEDURE Departments requiring emergency procurement action should contact the Procurement Services Department to obtain prior approval before obtaining services or materials needed to resolve the emergency. Departments requesting emergency procurement of commodities or services requiring physical changes to a building/structure, or affecting/involving any utility or service system, such as electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, steam, etc. must receive approval from UAMS' Physical Plant Department. The Procurement Services Department must obtain a minimum of three (3) competitive bids for all non-critical emergency procurement requests exceeding $5,000.00 and requiring no physical changes to buildings. If three competitive bids cannot be obtained, the Procurement Services Department must show the names of at least three firms contacted in attempting to obtain competition. The Procurement Services Department must report all emergency procurements to the Director of the Office of State Procurement. The report must include a copy of the Purchase Order, a copy of the quotation abstract and written explanation of the emergency procurement. &^_C D K L >@KO뻰hpsgCJOJQJ^JaJ#hpsg5>*CJOJQJ\^JaJhpsg hpsg5h7hpsg5>*]h7hpsg>*.jpDbH h7h7>*OJQJUV^JaJh7h7>*OJQJ^JaJ(jh7h7>*OJQJU^JaJ_ [Akd $$If0!!a$$d$Ifgdpsg&$$ & p@ P !0&d P gdpsg!$$  p@ }0^`gdpsg $$0gdpsgO  # B C D L je]]]]]$a$gdpsggdpsgAkd $$If0!00!a$$d0$IfgdpsgAkd $$If0!!a @MNO$a$gdpsg$ & Fdd[$\$a$gdpsg0&P1h/ =!"#$%  Ddb)R  S A?"?bu  DSl04Q DnI  DSl04PNG  IHDR~GsRGBPLTEVTT:?훚ihh755dt,ۀwDw<Pwgw |@,<wwS--xx@-w-;S8>w7wX$CwH $0ۀwDwPwgw@8H9p$ۀwИwxx@9998Hwwwww__9,ۀwxwxxxx9_wttۀwwwm\w@UAMS9H wȍww\WC9m\w@ 99hv$Q:-2C-x99 4ۀwxwDIwm\wDD: :lH9D:sD9 w pHYsod cmPPJCmp0712Hs tRNS,IDAThCYv( bޙ6ܞ>ԧ1h$! qk4vo;eW2z^iWjSvNxUw=y~=܇xJa z.цjp Sk/}{iŸ&!hL5j|\RpiL䁲!@ń9ʿ nސa!<,7{PWd˦{;0[lA*lbo M2-xfl]Â]\Aa{z T-װ \H:R[+&#e%x),fx2w)S"=={/!6#gkQiq%xGGqNcvFVkk} GSSrTJbx`=p%F8p ))=|y _I6|e S̒L|kU@Ƨ_o`3KE*bQ1{kCYKL_(L͔Cױ1ߒNlsHS)l׵k8X4[kW#cG螿|GKWV){LPBx: 'Y*ȡic7nά(Y?Mf?_^*k|򋰾Јs!h(ˀm}\ͽ|,-!o#(^{֌GZ!SƑǬ"[8޸g8E-пtܟ‹ߔΏywoymZڡ܇)~N ,Q,_]8+۩5pΟCbKhhORɋQz]h7 Tr57seb=c:mIMgtxx;?:#78ćfuɂhݜ28 \aݣRJ0F#M'h[e0!C;\U% 3s~ TPKq 7gg:c?d  L+gC[08L@ش3a  ZRV/y#sy@Qԟ2ph}"4t7|(e#z`Jϳw,Sc/sAL+Q6gwuVT|?z[5D\ V6vzFxIVV rh$xfoFN!^N]=b%FH82 y&'W^K,&(03Vrb򘜎N[K\'؉dlo_%XZ TEHs,\s-@Ky;&|=TW#}Oxq c%cby0kx[+V]:OdJƔcV`RX_D&qX8#&L ?tL?h!#zB"'kĐV|dFFM8b(GIENDB`c$$If!vh55#v#v:V !554ac$$If!vh55#v#v:V !554aq$$If!vh55#v#v:V !55/ 04a 12 !"#$%&'()*+,-./0356789:;<Root Entry  FxWData WordDocument 2ObjectPool  WxW_1214399600@96>@) W WOle CompObjuObjInfo  @96>@)#Microsoft Photo Editor 3.0 PictureMSPhotoEditor MSPhotoEd.39q Oh+'0   @ L X dpxCONTENTS (&CONTENTSV301Table4JSummaryInformation( ~G`VTT:?훚ihh755dt,ۀwDw<Pwgw |@,<wwS--xx@-w-;S8>w7wX$CwH $0ۀwDwPwgw@8H9p$ۀwИwxx@9998Hwwwww__9,ۀwxwxxxx9_wttۀwwwm\w@UAMS9H wȍww\WC9m\w@ 99hv$Q:-2C-x99 4ۀwxwDIwm\wDD: :lH9D:sD9 W                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Diana StocktonNormal 3Microsoft Office Word@G@1@81@=c՜.+,0 hp  UAMSK \  DocumentSummaryInformation8 0CompObjq Title  FMicrosoft Office Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q@@@ psgNormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA@D Default Paragraph FontVi@V  Table Normal :V 44 la (k@(No List B^@B psg Normal (Web)dd[$\$O _#BCDL@M N Q 00000 00 0 00 0 0000000 0 0 0 000O  O O O :EAFA4GAHAIADQ Q =*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags PlaceName=*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags PlaceType9*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsplace8*urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttagsdate 4 11519972003285DayMonthYearQ 2=Q 3&&^^pw#AN Q Q )nT^`.^`.pp^p`.@ @ ^@ `.^`.^`.^`.^`.PP^P`.)n:y>ʂleafSz Lrpsg7#BCQ @O p@UnknownGz Times New Roman5Symbol3& z Arial3z Times"hbvtbvcc!924K K 2qHP)?psg2 Diana Stockton
