Purchasing Card Commodity Suppliers
Purchasing Card cardholders are not permitted to use their purchasing card for
purchases of products or services from the following supplier types:
All purchase transactions from the restricted supplier categories listed above must
be processed via the BEN Buys purchasing system.
Effective January 2008, Purchasing Services will conduct purchasing card supplier
spend audits to ensure compliance with this directive.
All questions regarding the purchasing card restricted supplier categories are to be
directed to Purchasing Services.
BEN Buys Suppliers
Any BEN Buys Approved Supplier that refuses to support
the University's strategic purchasing or eProcurement initiatives is designated a
"restricted supplier." A restricted supplier whose products or services are
available from a competing supplier will be deactivated and listed on the Purchasing
Services Deactivated Supplier list. In the case of a unique
or sole source nature of their product or service, certain restricted suppliers can
continue a limited business relationship with Penn. A University Purchasing Card
can not be used for purchases from a restricted supplier; all purchase activity
with these suppliers must be conducted through the
BEN Buys purchasing system.
A restricted supplier is not permitted to distribute any promotional material to the
University campus or participate in any on-campus supplier show or exhibit.
- Note: There are no restricted suppliers at this time.
Deactivated Suppliers
A deactivated supplier is a former BEN Buys supplier whose purchasing site has been disabled
in the BEN Buys supplier database, and whose product
availability has been assigned to an alternate
preferred contract supplier as a result of a University
strategic procurement initiative, supplier consolidation, new supplier contract, or
unsatisfactory supplier performance.
