Contract Suppliers Listing

Contract Suppliers are those suppliers with which the university has a negotiated agreement that includes price discounts, simplified ordering methods, specialized delivery arrangements, specified customer service requirements, or efficient billing payment methods.

Bidding is not required when a purchase is made with a Contract Supplier, even if the order exceeds $5,000. This exemption applies because Purchasing Services has already conducted a bid and made an award on behalf of the entire university for on-going purchases.

Suppliers denoted with a  offer sustainable product/service options and/or are industry-certified as being green.
