The University's Sole Source Contract Supplier of Equipment
Maintenance Cost Containment Services
The Specialty Underwriters Equipment
Maintenance Program, an innovative alternative to traditional "Original Equipment
Maintenance (OEM)" annual equipment maintenance agreements, offers a significant cost
savings opportunity to departments without negatively affecting the service provider or the
quality and timeliness of equipment repair and service. Under this new program with Specialty
Underwriters, University departments can continue to receive support from the same
service providers they currently use.
This program is the result of a partnership with the
Educational & Institutional Cooperative Service (E&I),
the Purchasing Services collaborative buying business partner.
