Vendor and Contract Information
- Campus Wireless Equipment Policy
Wireless services are required by various employees in order to facilitate the needs of campus departments to fulfill the University's goals for excellence in education, healthcare and research. The Procurement Office has instituted the following campus policy for the establishment and payment of wireless services and equipment funded by the State and Research Foundation.
Wireless equipment and services should be purchased at the discretion of campus departmental administrators (i.e. Deans, Chairs, Directors, et al) who, in turn, are responsible for ensuring and verifying that their employees are using the wireless services exclusively for business purposes. Personal use of University wireless equipment and services is strictly prohibited.
Reimbursement of wireless service fees under personal accounts are not allowed. The Procurement Office will assist employees in establishing a business account that will be separate from the employee's personal account.
To transfer liability from a personal phone or wireless device to Stony Brook University the instructions are as follows:
- Print out a copy of the Transfer of Billing Responsibilities Form.
- Complete and sign the sections that read "Relinquishing Customer".
- Send this completed form to Fran Gandia in Procurement. Procurement will complete the "Organization Assumption of Liability" and send the form to Verizon Wireless for processing. The requesting department will receive a confirmation that the transfer has been completed.
All mobile devices purchased with State or Research Foundation funds are the property of the University.
- Under no circumstance should employees of Stony Brook University, using Research Foundation or State funds, purchase telephone equipment, supplies or services at a local cellular service provider store or service center.

- Radioactive Materials

When placing orders related to radioactive material, the following procedures are required:
- Requisition goes to EH&S for RSO approval. Each requisition must indicate the "inventory" - (on hand and waste) of the isotope being ordered.
- Upon EH&S approval, Requisition arrives in Procurement. Order will be placed by an Authorized Buyer.
- University personnel are not authorized to call a vendor directly to place or add to an order. If additional materials are needed a new requisition must be submitted and the above process followed.
- Office Supplies
Stony Brook's sole office supplies partner is W.B. Mason. Our negotiations have resulted in a three year contract that provides deep discounts on our most frequently purchased items and significant savings on all products in the W.B. Mason punch-out catalog in Wolfmart.
The contract became effective on July 1, 2017. In addition to the ink toners, copy paper and break-room supplies that W.B. Mason has been offering since 2015, their Wolfmart punch-out catalog has been expanded to include all office supply categories as well as facilities maintenance products. We also have a contract for water cooler rentals and water bottles. The agreement continues to provide desk-top delivery with no associated freight charges on all orders.
