    Commodity Reassignments

    As part of our commitment to the highest level of customer service, Procurement Services is excited to announce the reassignment of commodities.  This reassignment will allow us to better align the strengths and industry knowledge of our Purchasing Agent professionals, increase efficiencies and provide added value in support of the University’s missions.  These changes will become effective March 1st, 2014.

    On March 1st, a complete list of industry groupings and respective Commodity Codes will be available.  Please visit the Purchasing Department at: http://www.purchasing.uconn.edu, and click on Commodities. Please contact the appropriate Purchasing Agent for support and guidance as needed.
