Preferred Suppliers

Purchasing policy requires all purchases be made with suppliers under contract with Ohio University, either through an award from a University public competitive bid or one conducted by a purchasing consortia in which Ohio is a member.  These suppliers are known as Preferred Suppliers. All suppliers listed in the table below are Preferred Suppliers.

Ohio University buys many goods and services; however, all goods and services are not yet covered by preferred suppliers. Refer to this listing of all goods and services covered by required preferred suppliers. Preferred vendors should be used whenever possible and the best way to accomplish this is to place orders using BobcatBUY. In the rare event that a good or service requirement cannot be met by a Preferred Supplier, a non-preferred supplier may be used.

Additional information is also available for most suppliers. The plus sign at the beginning of each row can be used to see more information about each supplier.
