Recently, Business Services advised that Office Depot could no longer be used for purchases of office supplies. We also advised that office supplies could be purchased from other suppliers until such time as the Georgia Department of Administrative Services had awarded a new state contract for office supplies.

Business Services is now able to announce that KSU Business Services has negotiated discounts with two such office supply companies: Staples and Office Max. When purchasing office supplies through these companies, discounts of up to 90% off list may be possible. However, in order to obtain the discount, it will be necessary to purchase needed supplies online using a P-Card. You will not receive the negotiated discount if you purchase supplies at a store location. Both suppliers will automatically apply the state sales tax exemption when buying supplies on-line.

To purchase supplies from these companies, P-Card holders will first need to register as a KSU purchaser with either or both companies, at their respective websites. Directions for registration are contained in the two links below. Be sure and provide all information asked, as address and contact information is important for effective delivery of your order. (Make sure your address includes building and room number.) We suggest you register with both Staples and Office Max and that you compare prices each time you purchase.

You will need to use your P-Card each time you order supplies. Supplies will be delivered to your desk without charge. Bear in mind that you are not authorized to buy IT equipment, print jobs, furniture, and janitorial/sanitary supplies through these vendors. Similar to the Office Depot contract, these are still restricted items. The registration information below also provides customer service information, should you need assistance with registration or with your order.
