Purchasing | Vendors

Information about University contracts and joint contracts for frequently purchased goods and services. These contracts normally offer the best value on goods and services and as such, do not require competitive quotes.

If the goods or services required for an intended purchase are not on the University Contracts list, please contact one of the purchasing agents.

A shopping cart in the iProcurement Store Column indicates that items from the Vendor should be purchased on the University iProcurement Platform. Visit our iProcurement Resource page for information on iProcurement. A credit card symbol in the P-Card column indicates that the vendor accepts credit cards.
