Policy

Purchasing and Business Services will neither negotiate for personal purchases for faculty and staff nor request vendors to offer special discounts to faculty and staff.

If a vendor offers a discount to faculty and staff members, Purchasing and Business Services will relay the information to the Human Resources Work/Life Balance Programs Office, but any transaction will be the responsibility of the individual. Purchasing and Business Services will not consider the offer of faculty and staff discounts as a factor in the award of any contract. A list of employee discount offers can be found at the Human Resources Work/Life Balance Programs Web site.

Purchasing and Business Services will not conduct solicitations for nonuniversity entities, except for instances in which a cooperative purchasing agreement with the university exists, or for joint solicitations in which the partners are identified by name in the solicitations, or in special cases approved by the director of Purchasing and Business Services.
