UW departments should use the UW catalog contracts as their primary source to fulfill their procurement needs. Amazon Business Prime should be used only if a department cannot find the same product(s) in the catalogs.
For now, Procurement Card (ProCard) is the only method of payment for Amazon Business Prime. As Amazon Business Prime is intended for the purchase of goods for UW business only, use of any personal credit card as the payment method in Amazon Business Prime is prohibited.
Units may set up labs to enter Amazon Business Requests directly in the Amazon Business platform. Requesters may submit orders directly by entering the appropriate worktags at check out. Orders will route to PIs and Grant/Cost Center Managers for approval and then to a shared environment procard holder for procard approval. We highly recommend that units consider this approach as opposed to filling out procurement request forms only for procard holders to re-enter the request into Amazon Business. If you are interested in your lab being set up, reach out to eFAST@uw.edu with the subject title: “SET OUR LAB UP FOR AMAZON BUSINESS” and a member will set your team up in Amazon Business your departmental administrator approval.
