Notes:
  • This page provides a list of all APD Issuances for Acquisition and Personal Property.
  • APD Issuances are available to view online and download.
  • To download and print copies of issuances you should click on the number column, which will instruct you to save a WordPerfect copy of the issuance. Once you've saved the copy as a WordPerfect file, you'll be able to print it. However, because there are some large files, a number of these files are zipped executable files.  In order to un-zip these files you must have an un-zip utility on your hard drive, if not, you may download win-zip utility evaluation copy free from http://www.winzip.com/winzip.
