Supply Management Services

Thank you for your interest in doing business with Cornell University.  We are dedicated to employing fair business practices when working with our supplier community and welcome the opportunity to assist your business to become a Cornell University supplier.  Below are the steps necessary to completing the process of becoming a supplier for the university.  If you need assistance, please fee free to contact our office.

1. Contact the appropriate buying team agent for the type of services or goods your business is providing. It is important that you make this contact to allow the appropriate procurement agent to learn about your business capabilities.
2. Complete, if requested by the Office for Supply Management Services, the online Supplier Information Form. This form is used to acquire information for the vendor portion of the Automated Procurement and Payment System (APPS) database. Procurement agents will use APPS to select registered vendors of goods and services in the procurement process.

Notes: 

1. It is essential that all vendors who provide goods and services to Cornell University complete and submit the Supplier Information Form as soon as possible. The integrity of this information and timely completion of the form will have a direct impact on future purchases.
2. Cornell University has implemented the Procurement Card Program for low-dollar purchases. This program has proven to be very successful and provides many benefits to the vendors that support this method of purchases.
