Purchasing Pieces

Delegated purchasers are encouraged to utilize HUB vendors whenever they can. Everyone who purchases must show a good faith effort to give HUB vendors a fair chance.

If a HUB is used for a procurement card purchase, please make the notation “HUB” in comment section of the log.

Paper samples have been given out to test a multipurpose paper which is 30% post consumer recycled paper sold by HUB vendor Worthington Paper Company. This company has a good reputation for service and quality. They have been used as a paper vendor by several of the UH campuses and are setup in PeopleSoft.
