This past Spring, the PSC Travel Team announced a behind the scenes update expected to go live in the Concur Travel platform this July.

Our commercial card provider, US Bank, has changed its procedure for expedited card requests. Effective immediately, all newly issued and replacement cards will incur a $20 fee for rush delivery. The fee will be charged to the card account associated with the request, and it will be the responsibility of the cardholder and/or their department to reconcile this expense. The PSC does not charge any fees for rush processing.

On the last day of the fiscal year, a process will run to roll forward encumbrances that are remaining on purchase orders from FY24 to FY25. This means any POs that are not fully invoiced will be rolled forward so that the encumbrance balances accurately reflect purchase orders that are not fully used.
Effective May 1, 2024, the Source Selection & Price Reasonableness (SSPR) form is no longer required for purchases under $50,000. This also means that the sole source justification and associated price cost analysis form is also not required for purchases under $50,000. This adjustment, supported by your campus Controller and Grants & Contracts offices, aims to streamline procurement processes, increase opportunities for local and disadvantaged suppliers, and enhance efficiency.
