State of Wisconsin Ineligible Vendor Listings
Please check both of the listings below before committing to any purchase, including P-card purchases. The vendors on these lists cannot be used by any State of Wisconsin Agency, including UW-Stevens Point. If a department suggests one of these vendors, Purchasing Services will contact the department to obtain additional information in order to select an appropriate eligible vendor.
- The
Wisconsin Office of Contract Compliance Ineligible Vendor Directory
lists vendors that remain ineligible based on their failure to
satisfy s.16.765, Wis. Stats. (requirement of Affirmative Action in
employment for vendors doing business with the State of Wisconsin)
and is updated weekly.
- The
Certification for Collection of Sales and Use Tax Ineligible Vendor
Directory lists vendors determined to be ineligible by the
Wisconsin Department of Revenue for non-compliance with tax law
listed in s.77.66, Wis. Stats.
For more information and frequently asked questions, please see the State of Wisconsin's Certification for Collection of Sales and Use Tax page.
Wisconsin Accountability, Consolidation & Efficiency (ACE) Initiative
Governor Doyle has recently promoted a program to leverage the state's purchasing power to reduce the costs of many of the goods and services UWSP staff and students use on a daily basis. The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) has developed a series of mandatory contracts to be used when purchasing various commodities. To see which commodities are on Mandatory State Contracts, check the DOA Mandatory Contracts.
UWSP is required to purchase materials from these contracts. Some of the contracts limit the make and model of product that may be purchased (copiers, fax machines, printers). Other contracts are very general (computer peripherals) and require that the purchasing agent make contacts with several companies to see where the product(s) may be purchased. Please allow extra time when requesting materials as the purchasing agent may need to contact several vendors in order to locate a contracted vendor who can provide the product.
