Welcome to the Purchasing Office
Texas State University operates a decentralized purchasing system meaning that all departments on campus have certain purchasing responsibilities such as developing specifications, obtaining certain bid information, and following HUB and other requirements.
The Purchasing Office is available to assist departments in obtaining goods and services needed to accomplish the university's academic mission and goals.
Announcements & Updates
- We are pleased to announce the latest office supply contract information that will make the procuring office supplies easy and affordable to the campus. The University has established contracts with both Staples and OfficeMax which utilizes the State of Texas Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Mentor/Protégé program with vendors Summus Industries and Lone Star Supplies. The University will receive HUB credit for each item sold through these two vendors and therefore help Texas State meet its HUB goals for commodities as established by the state. Texas State’s HUB “good faith efforts” are one of the university’s key performance indicators and has high visibility in the Texas Legislature. [click here for more information]
