    Procurement at Tufts

    The Tufts Procurement Office supports the university’s teaching, research, and administrative missions by helping departments acquire the goods and services they need. We partner with schools and central units to identify preferred suppliers, negotiate contracts, and promote responsible, cost-effective purchasing practices. Faculty and staff are encouraged to use Tufts’ preferred suppliers whenever possible.

    Our procurement practices align with the principles of the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200), ensuring that all purchases are made with integrity, transparency, and in support of sound stewardship of university and sponsor funds.

    How We Can Help

    • Supplier onboarding, eReqs, purchase orders, invoices, P-Card, or Travel Card assistance. Email: tss@tufts.edu
    • Contract review requests. Submit a Contract Review Request
    • Preferred suppliers, competitive bids, or general procurement questions. Email: procurement@tufts.edu
