buyers: OfficeMax/Office Depot & Staples - 'Restricted Items'

[Holly Stutz]

Hello Campus,

Purchasing and Contracting Services (PCS) has received several reports about 'restricted items' on the Staples and OfficeMax websites. We are working on this issue.

As of this this month, there are new cooperative purchasing agreements for each of these vendors.  PCS understands the items previously listed under the old cooperative agreements are not necessarily the same items on the revised contracts. If you are selecting one of the dropped items, you will receive the restricted message.

The vendors are working to revise the notice so that users are told if the item is not on contract, but they are not given a pop message regarding 'restricted items'.

Please note, the new contracts contain the same breadth of selection as the old ones so you should be able to continue to meet most of your needs with items under contract.  However, items not on the new contracts may still be ordered directly, as long as the purchase fits within the standard rules and does not exceed $25,000. To order items directly, contact our account representative listed below:
