Preferred Vendors
Preferred vendors are those that have been awarded a contract bythe Office of Contracting and Procurement for use by all departments and schools.
These vendors are fully onboarded and available for use. Please select a vendor or commodity below to review instuctions on how to use.
Amazon (Online Marketplace)
Rowan University may utilize Amazon Business through its US Communities cooperative purchasing agreement. Amazon Business is a preferred and recommended marketplace for the items that are not strategically sourced either through an existing contract or public bid.
Some commodities that are currently under contract include Lenovo Equipment, Office Supplies, Cisco Systems Products, Aruba Networks Products, and Scientific Equipment & Supplies. These items will be labeled “restricted” within the Amazon Business marketplace. Some items that are restricted may still be approved pending further review. Please contact Stacie Mori with questions.
Additionally, all electric devices must be UL listed to be approved for use on all campuses. This can take a few days to determine, depending upon the selling agent.
If you already registered for an Amazon Business account using your @rowan.edu email address, you will need to deregister that account before you can join the approved Rowan B2B account.
Deactivating will simply convert your account back into a consumer account. All of the information currently on the account will move over to the shared account once you accept your e-mail invitation to join the Rowan B2B account (if applicable).
To request an invitation to Rowan’s Amazon Business account, please email Stacie Mori.
NOTE: After you are setup as an Amazon user, you can place orders without a requisition unless you are using Grant funding for an item over $5,000. A valid FOAPAL will be required.

Barnes & Noble (Text Books)
Barnes & Noble Ordering Process
Barnes & Noble is the official bookstore for Rowan University. All textbooks, classroom, and instructional materials must be purchased from the Glassboro store on Rowan Boulevard. The newly-revised process is below:
- Email completed spreadsheet to sm619@bncollege.com.
- Include all spreadsheet information to avoid delays .
- Individual B&N employees should no longer be copied
- B&N will send pricing quote.
- Approve pricing and send DCA information.
- B&N will order texts and inform you when they are ready for pickup.
Please allow 7-10 days for delivery. All requests should be submitted at least 14 days in advance to avoid delays.
While we understand there will sometimes be outlying, emergency situations resulting in a late order submission, the OC&P will not approve Amazon book orders from end-users who frequently submit in an untimely manner. If B&N is unable to source materials for you, an email from the bookstore should be forwarded to the OC&P prior to placing an order elsewhere.

Once your order is approved by Publications it will be sent to Pirolli Printing to be printed.
