A new state contract for office supplies has been awarded by the Office of the New York State Comptroller (OSC) for all state agencies. Contract CC04096 with W. B. Mason Inc. was approved by OSC on Friday, August 18. W. B. Mason will provide SUNY with office supplies, as a contract vehicle to replace the expired Office of General Services (OGS) contract.

The agreement is in effect until February 28, 2025.

All departments that have been onboarded to Bengal Buy (Jaggaer) are required to place office supply orders through Bengal Buy via the W. B. Mason catalog. W. B. Mason has thousands of office supply options to choose from and will provide desktop delivery.

Please note, only office supplies should be purchased from the W.B. Mason catalog. Other items, such as IT supplies and personal products, are not to be purchased, and will not be approved by Procurement.

Users are encouraged to follow the Bengal Buy training to ensure that they accurately set their default ship-to address, to ensure that their orders are delivered to their exact campus location. As a reminder, Bengal Buy training can be found on the Procurement website, as well as within Bengal Buy.

Departments that have not yet been onboarded to Bengal Buy (Jaggaer) will see no change to their current ordering process through Staples/Proftec. When a department is onboarded to Bengal Buy, it will subsequently be required to order office supplies through the W. B. Mason catalog.

The current Bengal Buy onboarding schedule commenced in August, and departments are being onboarded each month. Full campus rollout will conclude in December 2023; at that time, all campus departments will use Bengal Buy.

Please contact Kristy Mediak, senior director of procurement services, with questions or concerns.
