buyers: New COSCTO Process

[campus buyers announcement list]

Hello Buyers,

As most of you know, UO Buyers have the ability to purchase from our local Costco Warehouse.  Our current process requires UO Buyers to present either a UO P-card or a Purchase Order in order to make purchases at Costco.  PCS has been working with Costco to improve the customer service experience as well as to address some changes to the process that are coming this spring.

In order to streamline the checkout process, P-card custodians and P-card users are eligible to receive Costco membership cards for UO’s Costco business membership.   Membership cards are available at PCS’s office (1600 Millrace, Suite 306) or at your local Costco.  If you plan to pick up your UO Costco membership card at Costco please present your UO ID and P-card at the Costco customer service desk.

As of June 30, Costco will no longer accept purchase orders as a means of purchasing goods at their warehouse.  Moving forward, UO Buyers will need a UO P-card and UO Costco membership card in order to make purchases at Costco.  If your office doesn’t currently have a P-card or if you need to add users to an existing P-card, please submit a request through the UO Purchasing Portal.

Please also remember that these cards do NOT replace a personal membership and are to only be used for buying for the University.  They will only allow you to pay with a University of Oregon procurement card.

For questions about this system, please feel free to contact us at pcard at uoregon.edu<mailto:pcard at uoregon.edu> or by calling us at 541-346-2419.

Thanks and have a great day!

Sincerely,
Purchasing & Contracting Services
