Clearer Path to Payment for Vendors
Attention Vendors & Suppliers!
To improve efficiency and trust, starting October 1, 2025, invoices for all new purchases requires a Purchase Order (PO). This simple step makes payments smoother, helping you get paid faster once your invoice is submitted with a PO number.
If you didn't get a PO, please get in touch with your contact person.
4-Step Process:
Step 1: Government Issues Purchase Order (PO)
Step 2: Vendor Delivers Goods/Services
Step 3: Vendor Submits Invoice With PO#
Step 4: Payment Processed
Why This Change?
Clear Approvals - Budget confirmed upfront
Faster Payment - PO# links approval to invoice
Streamlined Process - Less back-and-forth
Transparency & Trust - Clear reliable government payments
