Ordering Instructions
Please note the following Ordering Instructions as outlined within the contracts. The University’s required process for procuring such products is by issuance of a purchase order, or University credit card (P-Card) given the following provisions:
- Vendor shall provide a written Quote upon request from an authorized University representative for any required or requested products.
- Vendor shall not begin production or fulfillment of any verbal or emailed orders until having received a Purchase Order issued by the University’s Department of Procurement Services. In instances where a P-Card is to be used, a written quote is required before production begins.
- Where applicable, all invoices shall reference the associated Quote and Purchase Order numbers, along with detailed line-item information to allow the purchaser to verify quantity and pricing at the point of receipt.
- Any order to be paid by credit card (P-Card) shall not exceed $4,999.99 in total, without prior express written approval from the University’s Department of Procurement Services.
- Payment shall not be issued without satisfactory delivery and confirmation of receipt.
- All orders for products bearing UNCG logos, marks, or trademarked verbiage shall adhere to the University’s Licensing and Branding requirements.
To ensure consistency in the use of the UNCG name and logos, all product designs must be approved by UNCG Trademark Licensing before production. In most cases, the manufacturer can submit the design to the University’s Licensing Partner, the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), for approval on behalf of the organization or department.
