UPDATE 8/28/23 2 pm: Emergency purchase procedures during U-M network outage

As a result of the U-M network outage that began on Sunday 8/27/23, several Procurement Services systems that rely on single sign-on are currently inaccessible, including M-Marketsite and MPathways eProcurement. ITS is working on resolving the issue and once U-M network communication is restored, these systems should be available.

For Ann Arbor,  Dearborn, Flint, and Michigan Medicine campuses

Excluding medical devices*, current ordering processes remain in effect with U-M business units or university-contracted suppliers that accept shortcodes. For emergency purchases with suppliers that do not accept shortcodes, please use a PCard. Please note that $5,000 is the standard credit limit on PCards, unless an increase was previously requested. 

For information on your current credit limit and how much is remaining, please contact JP Morgan Chase Customer Service at 800-316-6056. You can request a temporary PCard credit limit increase to accommodate your purchases or contact Procurement Services for additional assistance making emergent purchases.

Please follow your department down-time procedures and work closely with your supply staff at each location.

ITS will continue to provide updates as they become available.
