Mission

To continually improve our customer service to the campus and the community with a "can do" attitude by developing a reputation for responsiveness in accordance with state-mandated guidelines.

Competitive Sealed Bids

UA Fort Smith makes all purchases in accordance with the procurement laws of the State of Arkansas. Unless specifically exempt funds are utilized, State law requires use of the Competitive Sealed Bid process on all purchases, which exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00). Competitive Sealed Bids are advertised in a newspaper having statewide circulation and then opened and read publicly on the date and time specified in the advertisement.

Bid responses should be submitted on the printed bid document, in a SEALED envelope clearly marked with the bid number, date, and time of opening.
