Second, you should contact the Purchasing Agent(s) that handles the commodities you provide. The appropriate Purchasing Agent is referenced on our commodity list. The Purchasing Agent will have information about the University's needs for your products and services. At that time you can also be added to the bidder's list for future Requests for Quotations (RFQ) in your product areas.

Third, you should contact the University Departmental users that may have needs for your products and services. You may also want to routinely scan our Current Bid Opportunities web page.

When you receive an order via purchase order, you should ship the goods directly to the departmental user at the ship to address on the purchase order. Send all correspondence about payment (invoice, statement, credit memos, refunds) to:

The University of Iowa
Accounts Payable
202 PCO
Iowa City, IA 52242-2500

If you receive an order with a procurement card (credit card) number, process the billing as any other credit card transaction, but do not charge sales tax. Please include itemized pricing with the goods that are shipped.
