Commodities and Prime Suppliers
Choose the commodity you are seeking to purchase. Sourcing Specialists are available to assist in choosing the best supplier, to give direction on contracting, bidding or obtaining quotes, and to answer questions you may have regarding purchasing.
The university has established contracts with Prime Suppliers which are listed under each commodity when available. We do recommend the use of the Prime Suppliers as your first source for purchasing needs.
