Merchandise
Merchandise is an important tool to express visual identity and affiliation with Vanderbilt. All Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center departments and organizations who would like to place orders for apparel, promotional products, uniforms and awards that are branded with VU/VUMC marks and not branded with VU/VUMC marks, must use an approved Internal Campus Supplier. Each supplier is contracted by Vanderbilt University and is a member of the Fair Labor Association.
How to place a university/medical center order
- Request a quote(s) from any of Vanderbilt’s approved internal campus suppliers.
- After the preliminary quote is received and a supplier has been selected, complete the Merchandise Order Request (MOR) form.
- The Brand Marketing office will respond to the MOR and notify the selected supplier to proceed with the order. After the supplier receives the approved MOR email, the supplier will provide a final quote with the MOR number on it to the requestor. The final quote should be sent to the VU/VUMC administrator who will then submit a requisition for the purchase order.
- After art is approve by the department or organization requesting product, the supplier will submit the art to the Brand Marketing office for a final art approval.
- Once the purchase order is processed, Purchasing Services will send the purchase order to the department or organization and to the supplier. The supplier must receive the final art approval and a purchase order before production can begin.
