The University has a contractual obligation to order contract items from Cardinal. Ordering can be done by fax or telephone. First, check the core list for the items desired. The core list items should be either less expensive, or at least the same price as the discount catalog price. If the item is not on the core list, refer to the catalog for item description and list price.
Lesser discounts apply to items in other sections of the catalog.
Please check the catalog carefully for the discount which applies to each section. Other contracts are available for your use in purchasing office furniture, audio-visual equipment, office machines, and nearly every other commodity listed in the Cardinal catalog except general office supplies. Delivery will be made to the departmental address specified on the order. Cardinal will issue a return call with the proper carrier, the item will be picked up from the department, and the departmental account will be credited. The preferred method of payment for Cardinal orders is the Purchasing Card.
