Ordering from Vendor Websites

Use the websites listed below to locate the products you want.  Many of these vendors offer online ordering, so copy the link to your Requisition Form when you locate the items.  Several of these vendors are set-up to allow you to create your own order and forward it to your Buyer to authorize.  Contact us for login information for these vendors, including Sigma-Aldrich, Fisher Scientific, VWR International and others.


Selected vendors have special pricing and packages for the University that are not offered on their retail or consumer sites.  For instance, at Dell Computer's Premier site, they offer computers and systems customized and discounted specifically for educational use. 

To access this information, you must initially create a new profile at their site using our access ID and password (link available upon request); on subsequent visits, you can access their UO site (Dell/Premier) directly without having to re-enter any information.  Upon your request, we will send you detailed instructions to use these and other sites.
