The Office of Business Services was commissioned to engage in an RFP process to establish a single vendor for all of the University’s promotional purchases. Choosing a single, exclusive vendor allows us to leverage the combined strength of our buying power to negotiate a significant discount that will benefit your departments and the University.
Staples Promotional Products have been awarded the RFP contract and have become the exclusive promotional item provider here on campus. In order to remain in compliance with the contract signed between the University and Staples Promotional Products all promotional items purchased by the University must be done so through the ACU PromoGear Program. The contract went into effect on June 1st 2014.
Please make your departments aware of this new contract with Staples and of the ACU PromoGear program in the interim. ProForma, or any other 3rd party promotional vendor, is no longer contractually eligible to be used for the purchasing of promotional products of any type. Be on the lookout for ACU PromoGear announcements – including training workshops wherein individuals within your departments can have one on one training opportunities. Please pass this information to those in your area that you deem appropriate. ACU PromoGear Helpful Tips
