To submit your requests for new office supplies:
Log into UT Market (EID Required), click TODAY'S Business Solution, look for the items you need, place them in a cart, and assign the cart to Xochi Gostomski (eid: xg2279)
Contact Jennifer Kryska via e-mail or in person. You may also write down your office supplies order in the TODAY'S Business Solutions Order Form available in UTA 5.52, where ordinary office supplies are kept. Orders are placed every other week to minimize delivery.
Please do not purchase standard office supplies using your own funds. You will not be reimbursed.
...
To ensure timely processing of your order, please submit your request to iSchool purchasing weeks in advance.
Order with a value of $15,000 or less can be purchased quickly. Please submit your request at least three to five business days in advance. Depending on the vendor, nature and value of the order, we will either use the departmental procurement card to acquire the goods or process a purchase order.
Order with a value of $15,000.01 to $50,000 requires that we solicit a minimum of three informal bids/quotes from at least one ethnic minority-owned business and one woman-owned business when available. Please submit your request at least five to ten business days in advance. Sole source/exclusive acquisition requests can be made. Allow additional time for final approval by UT Purchasing Office and for delivery.
Order with a value greater than $50,000 requires formal competitive bids/quotes solicited by the UT Purchasing Office. It takes several weeks to complete the formal bidding process, and issue a purchase order.
