Copiers

Ordering Instructions

All departments are encouraged to get quotes from multiple vendors, using multiple state or purchasing cooperative contracts during the final six months of their current copier lease. Below is a listing of current vendors on campus and if a department knows of a different vendor, they can get a quote, but it must be on a state or purchasing cooperative contract.

Before or after a department has received quotes the department can contact their buyer to assist with the copier ordering process. After the department has reviewed and decided on a new copier, to begin the ordering process, the quote must be emailed to purchase@sfasu.edu and a requisition will need to be entered.

Finally, if a department does not wish to research a new copier and would like to stay with the current one, they can ask their current vendor for a quote for a one-year maintenance agreement which also must be on state or purchasing cooperative contract.
