New Mandatory Contracts: Promotional Items and Imprinting Services

JMU Procurement Services is pleased to announce that 19 contracts have been awarded for Promotional Items and Imprinting Services with a start date of October 15, 2018.  The new contracts are mandatory to campus end-users to ensure JMU receives the best value possible.  The campus has traditionally used well over 90 different vendors; these contracts allow us to standardize and consolidate our promotional and imprinting expenditures.  In addition, all contracted vendors are CLC/IMG Licensed for JMU Identity Standards, are eVA vendors, and most are SWaM vendors.

Mark your calendar for Thursday, October 11^th, 10 am to 2pm in the Highlands Room at the Festival Center to meet the vendors and learn more about their product lines.  The Vendor Meet & Greet event is reserved for those with eVA access, purchasing authority, and/or involved in the decision making process for promotional and imprinting purchases.

Exceptions to these Mandatory contracts are limited and currently include imprinted items purchased through the JMU Bookstore (Follett), and items required by NCAA rules to be purchased from a specific vendor under branding regulations.  Any other individual purchase for promotional or imprinting must be approved by Procurement Services in advance of the purchase.

Note:  Newly established contracts have new contract numbers.  All eVA requisitions must include the new contract number for each newly established contract.  New contracts will be listed on the JMU Contract Gateway: http://cipag.jmu.edu/cipag/.  Contact Dana Simmers if you have any questions at simmerdm@jmu.edu or 540-568-5113.
