Procurement Services shall identify items of common usage throughout the University to facilitate quantity buying. Where economically practical, such items may be carried in inventory in the Stockroom for the purpose of providing a ready supply of specific items to using departments. The Stockroom is the designated source from which all budgetary units are required to purchase supplies such as paper products, maintenance supplies, and other miscellaneous supplies. Items available at the Stockroom must not be purchased from any other source.

A Stockroom catalog can be found at Stockroom Product Listing. Departmental charges will include a mark-up of an amount necessary for the operation of the Stockroom. Specific percentage "mark-ups" are determined by the Director of Procurement Services with concurrence of the VP and Chief Financial Officer.
