Exciting News! It is time to get you and your department set up on the CSUBUY Marketplace.

As mentioned in the Oct. 5 Campus News newsletter, we now have a new purchasing tool called CSUBUY Marketplace. CSUBUY Marketplace is a CSU systemwide initiative to streamline the purchasing and payment processes.

CSUBUY Marketplace is a collaborative Procure to Pay one-stop marketplace currently with the following vendors: B&H Photo, Carolina, CDWG, Complete Book, Connection, Dell, Fastenal, Fisher Scientific, Gordon Industrial, Grainger, Graybar, Henry Schein, Home Depot, HP, IRG, MSC Industrial Supply, School Specialty, Sigma Aldrich, Staples, VWR, Waxie and Wesco. Amazon Business will be added to the CSUBUY Marketplace once our campus is repopulated from the pandemic.

All orders, except ProCard prohibited items, for the above listed vendors are required to be ordered through CSUBUY on a ProCard effective May 1, 2021. Users that do not have a ProCard are still able to shop in CSUBUY and forward cart items, by clicking “Assign Cart” to send the order to the department’s ProCard holder, who will review and release the order. ProCard holders can hold dual roles: place orders and also review and release orders for non ProCard holders in their department. A list of ProCard allowable and prohibited items may be found here.

All departments must have at least one ProCard holder to make eligible campus purchases. If your department does not have a ProCard please identify the individual who will be assigned this responsibility by completing the application found here.

Be sure to review our new Purchasing and Payment Matrix. The Purchasing and Payment Matrix describes which purchases should be on a Purchase Requisition, a ProCard, and a Direct Pay. Be on the lookout for CSUBUY training (Zoom) opportunities. Dates and times will be listed in a future campus professional development email. A private CSUBUY training can be scheduled for your college, division or department by contacting Brian Cotham in Procurement, bcotham@csufresno.edu. A training video will also soon be posted to the Procurement CSUBUY website for those that are unable to attend a live training.

The Accounting Services and Procurement teams are excited about the new CSUBUY Marketplace and the Purchasing and Payment Matrix and the efficiencies it brings to the Fresno State campus.
