September Scientific & Research Supply Project update

The Scientific & Research Supply project team continues to work diligently toward enhancing WSU’s scientific and research supply purchasing processes.

Work toward the following major project milestones are in progress or completed as of early September 2026.

Completed activities:

• Technical connections created for the punchout marketplace.
• Project updates in various WSU community meetings in July and August.

In-progress activities:

• Continued contracting with the selected primary vendor.
• Testing of punchout marketplace.

Upcoming activities:

• Project updates in various WSU community meetings in September.
• Resource material development

As we begin the implementation of the punchout system, we will continue to engage with members of the university community to ensure that this new system meets the needs of researchers and administrators at WSU. Resources will also be made available to support employees and researchers in making the switch to the new system. 

We’ll continue to provide updates regarding the project in the Workday Digest. Questions? Reach out at the Workday Service Desk.
