State of Oklahoma Contracts

https://www.ok.gov/dcs/solicit/app/contractSearch.php

The University of Oklahoma, being a constitutionally created state agency, has access to state contracts that have been competed by Central Purchasing of the Office of Managment and Enterprise Services. Since the University is not on the state's financial system, ordering off these contracts is conducted differently.

Departments with purchases over $5,000 will need to enter a requisition in PeopleSoft. All pertinent documentation will need to be attached to the requisition and also reference the state contract number (e.g. SW015A, ITSW0900).


OU Consortiums

These organizations provide higher education institutions access to a portfolio of contracted products and services that can offer a reduction in operational costs. Cooperatives aggregate the buying power of educational institutions across the country.

Please make all requests to add other cooperatives or buying organizations to OU Procurement Supplier Relations.

Background:

E&I – short for E&I Cooperative or Educational & Institutional Cooperative Services, Inc – is higher education’s purchasing cooperative.

On August 2, 1934, the purchasing directors of Cornell, Colgate, and Syracuse filed the Certificate of Incorporation in the state of New York. The cooperative purchasing concept was first tested within the Educational Buyers Association (EBA) which was established in 1921 to serve educational institutions through information sharing and "pool" buying. The EBA has since evolved into the National Association of Educational Procurement (NAEP), of which OU is a member.

Over the decades E&I has grown into a multi-million dollar organization primarily serving the NAEP membership. E&I’s portfolio offers more than 70 contracts. Through its Compliance Initiative, E&I works closely with members of NAEP to advance the ability of public institutions to use E&I's competitively solicited contracts.
