*FOR USA HEALTH ONLY
Recurring orders for forms, labels, tags, etc. will be sourced from Health System GPO-contracted vendors. Contact Health System Purchasing for assistance.

One-time orders for marketing materials may be ordered from one of the pre-approved vendors below. Requesters should obtain at least three quotes from the pre-approved vendors and choose the lowest-cost option.

No, the University of South Alabama does not have contracted prices for most print jobs. The only contract we will have in place is through Gwin’s for stationary items (business cards, letterhead, envelopes, and notecards.)
Other than stationary items, for all print orders over $5,000, departments will be required to obtain at least three (3) quotes from three (3) of the seven (7) prequalified vendors on this list. Once the quotes have been attained and reviewed, the department must use the lowest priced vendor for that specific job.
Yes! Because these vendors have been prequalified and vetted, we know that they all produce quality work.

Your South Alabama P-Card is the method of payment for orders under $5,000. Orders of $5,000 or greater require a purchase requisition.

*FOR USA HEALTH ONLY
For non-recurring orders/orders without a Premier item #, a requisition will need to be submitted in Premier along with the quote under the documents tab. Once the requisition is approved Purchasing will issue the PO to the vendor.

For orders over $5,000, adequate documentation includes three (3) quotes obtained from three (3) prequalified vendors along with the invoice.

If a vendor has not responded within three business days to a request for a quote. In lieu of the three quote requirement, you may include a copy of your quote request and note you did not receive a response from the vendor within three (3) business days of the request.

The Office of Marketing and Communications will have access to all files used by Ricoh. If you need access to files, contact Diana Nichols (main campus) or Marie Katz (USA Health) for assistance.

Promotional products are not in the same category as printing. Departments may use the vendor of their choice. Purchases in excess of $15,000 must be competitively bid.
