On May 5, U-M launched a new centralized Amazon Business account for university purchasing activity. This new account is a university-wide approved method to purchase items not currently available in U-M’s Marketsite+ catalogs, and enables the university to leverage Amazon’s wide product selection and competitive prices while improving procurement efficiency and accountability across the university.
Helpful Ordering Information:
-
- To shop, log in to Marketsite+ and navigate to the Amazon Business tile, which will automatically connect you to the central account when you pass through Single Sign-On.
- If you received an invitation via email to join the account and the link in the message has expired, please proceed directly to Marketsite+ and log in through the Amazon Business tile.
- You must be an authorized UM PCard holder to check out in Amazon Business.
- Non-PCard holders are able to create lists to share for purchase by an authorized PCard holder.
- To learn more about how to request a PCard, visit the PCard program website.
