RPA Transactions for FY18

Although COMMBUYS transactions for FY18 are closed, OSD recognizes and encourages the use of RPAs to record transactions after the fact to complete the purchasing record in COMMBUYS. To record FY18 RPA transactions, users must create the RPA document in COMMBUYS and then call the COMMBUYS Help Desk, to temporarily open the FY18 window, which will allow the transactions to be processed.

We appreciate all efforts to use the RPA functionality and thank you for your cooperation. Please direct any questions to the COMMBUYS Help Desk (commbuys@mass.gov / 617-720-3197).

Please be advised we are experiencing intermittent phone outages on the COMMBUYS Helpline. If you cannot reach us by phone please email us at COMMBUYS@mass.gov
