Purchase orders or contracts have been issued to each of the vendors to establish our discount program. Each department must obtain their own quote and issue their own purchase order to purchase equipment against these discount programs. Instructions for obtaining quotes and processing orders may be found on the sites listed for the following vendors:

A copy of the quote obtained must be forwarded to Purchasing and a purchase order must be created. The purchase order must reference the blanket discount agreement purchase order number, with the following exceptions:

orders to Compaq must state "E&I Contract No. E-AND-I"
orders to VWR must state "VWR/E&I"
orders to Dell, Sun, Apple, Data Projections, Integrated AV Systems, or HiEd must state "Catalog Purchase"

Charges will be paid on a VP1. The procurement card may be used when ordering from VWR up to the card’s maximum single purchase limit.

If you have any questions, please contact your buyer in Purchasing.
