The Procurement Services Department’s goal is to assist the UMW community in the purchasing of goods and services necessary to support the mission of the University. This includes providing resources, such as the below, to our users to help with questions related to Procurement.

Purchase/Payment Approval Process FAQ

Executive Order 35

SWaM Vendor Locator

  • Transparency Report – Utilize this report to locate eVA Registered SWaM vendors.
  • DSBSD – Access this site to locate certified micro and small vendors.  Note that vendors on this site are not neccessarily eVA registered, as that registration is a separate process.

Cooperative Contracts

The VASCUPP website and contract database can be used to locate existing cooperative contracts available for use by the University. These contracts are issued by other higher education institutions around the state. Contact Procurement with any questions or if you want more information.

Other cooperative contracts may exist outside of VASCUPP for your needs. Contact Procurement Services to assist in finding an existing contract for your department’s purchases.
