Lehigh University participates in several higher education and nonprofit purchasing consortiums that leverage collective buying power to secure competitive pricing, favorable terms, and high-quality service from trusted suppliers. The vendors listed below are preferred partners with whom Lehigh has active contracts through these consortiums. Departments are encouraged to use these vendors whenever possible to ensure compliance with university purchasing policies, maximize cost savings, and benefit from negotiated terms tailored to higher education needs. Purchasing through these vendors satisfies Lehigh’s competitive bidding policy and additional proposals or quotes are not required. When creating a Unimarket requisition for one of these vendors, note the consortium in the Justification section to ensure rapid review and approval.
