Nov. 21 - 23 - No new orders in Marketplace - Procurement will assist in moving existing orders through the system during this time.
Nov. 28 - Marketplace connection is shutdown to perform the new upgrade. Procurement will email all users once the system is available again. The estimated timeline is 2-4 days after shutdown.
