Many customers for custodial rental items supplied through Cintas and Unifirst currently have requisitions in eBuy (old system). With the new fiscal year (FY), which started on October 1, 2010, it is imperative that all custodial rental customers who do not have a current requisition in eBuy2 (new system) complete a requisition for their FY 2011 requirements with Cintas and Unifirst (for 1 year only).
Even if you created a requisition in eBuy and there may be funding left, you must create a new requisition in eBuy2. This is a requirement, not an option. Only requisitions in eBuy2 will be available for supplier payments. eBuy will no longer be available as of October 1, 2010, and all requisitions in eBuy will be cancelled.
The custodial rental contracts with Cintas and UniFirst expire on December 19, 2010; however, the contracting officer is in the process of completing a 1-year extension in order to accommodate the requirements for all postal facilities to complete new eBuy2 requisitions for these contracts.
