Can I use the University Amazon Business account to order office supplies if it is cheaper than the same items offered by a KSU contracted vendor?

No.  University-contracted vendors must be used to purchase office supplies and other  specified goods. You can access a full list of contracted suppliers and vendors on Procurements website  at www.kent.edu/procurement/supplier-or-vendor-contracts.

Our frequent analysis and price monitoring shows that our contract pricing has significantly lower pricing than Amazon on our most commonly used items.   the University’s use of the Amazon Business account enables a convenience to the University buying community as a resource to locating those hard-to-find, specialized, or non-contracted items.

Please contact Procurement at procurement@kent.edu  with questions.
