Preferred Supplier Directory
For many of the most commonly used products and services, Vanderbilt Procurement Services has negotiated preferred contracts with a select group of suppliers. Many of these suppliers were awarded contracts on the basis of their competitiveness and ability to serve the needs of the entire Vanderbilt community. Our contracts have deep discounts and special terms and conditions not generally available from non-contract or non-preferred suppliers. In many cases, our contract suppliers have sales and customer service personnel assigned exclusively to serving Vanderbilt.

Our Preferred Supplier Directory is arranged by Product/Service description and lists the preferred suppliers for each commodity. Included in this directory are internal Vanderbilt service providers as well as alternative external suppliers. Links to contact email and supplier web pages are included. The Directory can be sorted by Product/Service Description, Supplier or Contact. A full profile on each supplier is provided by clicking on the specific Product/Service description. Should you have any questions about any particular commodity or supplier, the assigned Vanderbilt Purchasing Agent is listed in the profile for your convenience.
