The Department of Procurement and Strategic Sourcing is pleased to announce that the University has established a contract for industrial supplies with McMaster-Carr and for maintenance/renovation supplies with Lowe’s Pro. Since this fall, the Procurement Department has been working with both of these firms to customize their programs to allow for consistent product selection and online ordering through Paw. Orders with these suppliers to be delivered to campus may now be placed using Paw instead of the pcard.
McMaster-Carr’s punch-out is located within the Laboratory/Scientific category area.
Lowe’s Pro punch-out is located within the Maintenance, Repair and Operations category area.
Additional information regarding delivery options for Lowe’s Pro is attached to this message. Procurement strongly recommends the review of the delivery options prior to the placement of any Lowe’s orders, as the selected option may result in unanticipated delivery charges.
We are excited to enable both of these providers for the campus. If you have any additional questions regarding these suppliers or the process to place orders, please reach out to Rafael Espinoza: espinoza@umbc.edu
