Purchase of Office Supplies

Office Supplies are to be purchased through the University's primary contractor, OfficeMax. The cooperative effort between OfficeMax and the Department of Purchasing continues to keep our University at the leading technological edge of procurement and together we are able to offer unprecedented discounts based on volume purchasing contracts.

An EZ order Custom Catalog is available. This catalog contains a Best Buy List of items that have been more deeply discounted due to large sales volume. It also contains category discounts that are available on items ordered from the OfficeMax general catalog. Other useful information on how to process orders, returns, etc. can be found in this catalog.

OfficeMax offers three options in order placement. OfficeMax readily accepts the University's procurement card as the preferred method of payment, although they will bill through your department purchase order.

1. OfficeMax internet ordering. Instructions on how to sign up and place orders can be found on page 22 of the Custom Catalog.
2. Fax Orders using the EZ order form or your own form, as long as it contains your OfficeMax account number 286366 and your assigned consignee/ship-to code. Fax orders to 1-800-572-6473.
