Procurement Services is happy to announce a new option for the campus community to place orders for office supplies with Office Max or Staples, thanks to the diligent and concerted efforts of key people from SUNY and Office Max. This agreement will have a positive effect in the following ways:

• It will provide a wider variety of products from which to choose.
• It will give us the ability to shop between vendors to find the best prices and save money.
• Ordering supplies from Office Max will save 10 percent on average compared with purchases made off the current state contract.
• It will boost our MWBE utilization rate, per Governor Cuomo’s directive.

As of now, Office Max orders will continue to be placed online by the ordering department. Details regarding the new ordering process for Office Max will be sent to registered Office Max users. Staples orders will continue to be placed by submitting a Request for Purchase Order to Procurement Services for processing. Orders for Office Max and Staples will be processed and approved in the order received.
