Preferred Vendors typically are those that have been awarded a contract by the Purchasing Department for College-wide use accessible to all department Buyers. The selection is based on a thorough review and negotiation to obtain the best overall value to the College based on the price, delivery capabilities, quality, past performance, financial stability, ease of ordering, etc. Preferred vendors are identified in the Unimarket Marketplace with a yellow Supplier Tag that states “PREFERRED”.
No! The Purchase Order is a legal document that authorizes the procurement of goods or services from the Supplier. Suppliers cannot provide goods or services prior to receiving a Purchase Order as that exposes both the College and the user to financial and legal risk.
