Office Supplies

The Office of the Chancellor has embarked on a strategic procurement program designed to leverage the buying power of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education for the purchase of office products.  Office Max is our supplier and all Universities will benefit from this agreement with low prices and fast service.  Department designees having purchasing authority can order supplies from the vendor's online supply catalog.   

Office Max offers order entry methods that will facilitate Internet ordering through use of their website at www.officemaxsolutions.com Departments may search and review items on the web and select them for placement into virtual "shopping carts."  Order deliveries will be made directly to the ordering departments (desktop delivery) within one to two days, depending on the size and availability of the item.   

• Order limits are $25 minimum with a $500 maximum order transaction within each department's budget.
• Departments are responsible for inspecting the packing list against the contents of all packages.
• If discrepancies are found for any order, the department must contact Office Max customer service at 1-800-472-6473.
• The Accounting Office will automatically receive notification of any order charges or credits from Office Max. The bill for office supplies will be paid as soon as the invoices are received and the department's budget will be charged accordingly.
• Since toner cartridges may require a longer lead time, please re-order toner when you place the last one in your machine.
• Some grant accounts cannot currently utilize this method of procurement due to pre-approval requirements for grant account expenses.
