Web Ordering Information

You can order office supplies from your desk by using Staples thru the CSUBUY Marketplace website. The price you see on-line is the price we pay. Stock items ordered before 3:00 PM will usually be delivered to the requestor's office the next business day. The Staples online ordering program is to be used only for authorized purchases for University use, and may not be used to make personal purchases, or purchases of computers, furniture, capital equipment, hospitality supplies, and other restricted items. Restricted items may be ordered through Procurement using a purchase requisition form.

Also, please remember to retain original boxes and packages on all items, especially all technology items for at least 30 days, in case a return will be required.

Preferred Suppliers

As a state agency we are mandated that a certain percentage of our business transactions are conducted with Diverse Suppliers , and Small Businesses .We are also required to purchase and report on certain recycled content products . Please purchase products from these vendors wherever possible.

The Staples website includes a list of core items denoted by the symbol . Products with this symbol represent the CSU's highest usage in prior years, and afford the largest discount through the state contract with Staples. All other items available through Staples will be discounted as well, but the biggest savings will be on these core items.
