A new university-wide contract for Flowers and Occasion Gifts was recently awarded to six suppliers. The Sourcing Team has pre-negotiated rates, discounts, and terms with suppliers for use by the university through a competitive bid process.
The suppliers include 1-800-Flowers, Donna’s Delicious Dozen, Flourish Bespoke Floral & Event Decor, Orchard Lane Flowers, Spoonful of Comfort, and University Flowers
A bid was done for gift cards and incentives, resulting in contracts being awarded to two suppliers – Virtual Incentives and Tango. These contracts are available for university-wide use for digital and physical gift cards. Contract information can be found on the appropriate contract book pages .
Virtual Incentives should be the primary supplier of gift cards due to an 8% contract discount on virtual gift cards. This includes priority over direct orders from brands such as Amazon. Any Amazon gift cards should be ordered from Virtual Incentives, not Amazon, in order to receive the discount. Users can select from many different brands and products, including Virtual Visa and Amazon. Please see the ordering instructions on the contract book page for details.
Please contact Steve Hronek.9@osu.edu , Commodity Manager, with any questions.

Magnetic Springs is back in buckeye Buy with a two-line catalog for either 5-gallon water service or filtration unit service. The pricing for each is visible in the long description of the item. Requestors should enter the expected total for annual service in the quantity field without decimal points. This will produce a one-line purchase order for the total amount of service through the year. The dollar line structure allows for multiple invoices to be paid during the service period. The account number, service location and best days for delivery must be included in the Memo to Supplier field of the requisition before service can begin. Each delivery location should be on a separate purchase order. See the Magnetic Springs contract book page for supplier contact information for new account set-up or customer service questions. The full post includes a visual that provides guidance for Magnetic Springs order entry.
