Ivy League Purchasing Group

Purchasing Services works closely with members of the Ivy League Purchasing Group to share purchasing strategies and knowledge, identify and investigate new purchasing related technologies and to explore the possibility of leveraging our combined purchasing volume while supporting individual school business requirements. Original limited to the Ivy League schools, the Ivy League Purchasing Group has since expanded its membership to include schools from across the country.
