Purchasing Services

Appliances

 

The University's contracted supplier for the purchase of appliances is Appliance Center.  

The purchase of general household and dormitory supplies may be as a result of a construction or renovation project, a replacement for an existing item or simply a new departmental need. 

• New Appliance Requests: Departments are advised to contact Facilities & Construction related to all new appliance requests. This will ensure that adequate utility needs and physical space requirements are reviewed and approved prior to purchase.  Once approved, departments may contact the contracted supplier directly for purchases.
• Construction/Renovation Projects: Purchasing Services will work with the Project Manager from Facilities & Construction to make all specified appliance purchases within project budget and installation schedule.
• Appliance Replacement: Departments may contact the contracted supplier directly for the purchase.
  
  

NOTE: Department must advise supplier that removal and discard of existing appliance is required. If department fails to do this, supplier will not remove existing appliance and department will need to place work order with Facilities & Construction to have appliance removed at additional charge. Dependent upon type of appliance being replaced, department might also need to contact Facilities & Construction for appliance utility connect/disconnect.
