UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRIME VENDOR/SUPPLIER PROGRAMS
 

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Purchasing Department has established the following prime vendor contracts to give departments an improved method of ordering routine items in terms of quality, service, product selection, pricing and delivery. Your use of these prime vendor contracts is encouraged as significant savings in time and dollars for the university and your department can be realized.

NOTE:  We recommend the use of the "Prime" vendor as your first source. These "Prime" vendors have been established to provide best overall value to the University. In the event the "Prime" vendor cannot meet your requirements, then you may want to consider one of the other Secondary vendors listed.

Should you have any questions concerning these contracts or on-line ordering, please contact the UNL Purchasing Department at (402) 472-2126.
