Approved Promotional Product Vendors

Awarded Vendors for Promotional Products, Apparel and Embellishment Services

Procurement and Fixed Assets released a bid solicitation, Bid No. 22-12-16-0005, for the purchase and/or design of promotional products, apparel (with/without embellishments) and other related items (i.e. embroidery, silk/screen printing, etc.) in an effort to contract with some of JSU’s long-term licensed partners. By doing so, JSU was able to negotiate competitive pricing with the companies listed below.
University departments at their discretion have the option to solicit any of the awarded licensed vendors to provide promotional products, customized and branded apparel.

  • The applicable discount should be reflected on the quote.
  • Enter the net amount due on your requisition.  Do not enter the discount in the requisition “Discount Amount” field or enter any data in the “Additional Amount” field.  Amounts should never be entered in those fields as it creates PO processing issues.
  • Include the bid number in the public comments section of the purchase requisition.
