Establishing an OfficeMax Account

CSU Fresno staff members who have the responsibility of ordering office supplies will be given website access after submitting a completed Authorization For OfficeMax Account Form to Procurement & Support Services. Once your account has been established you will receive an e-mail from OfficeMax with your user name and password.

If requested, Purchasing will provide each department with an OfficeMax Retail-Connect Card which will allow you to access CSU Fresno contract prices in OfficeMax retail stores. Just show the card at checkout and any items that are CSU Fresno contract items will be discounted at the register.

Changes to an OfficeMax Account

Changes to existing OfficeMax accounts for chartfields, delivery addresses, and addition or deletion of users must be submitted to Procurement & Support Services using an documented on an Authorization For OfficeMax Account Form.

Web Ordering Information

You can order office supplies from your desk by using the OfficeMax website at http://www.OfficeMaxSolutions.com. The price you see on-line is the price we pay. Stock items ordered before 3:00 PM will usually be delivered to the requestor's office the next business day. The OfficeMax online ordering program is to be used only for authorized purchases for University use, and may not be used to make personal purchases, or purchases of computers, furniture, capital equipment, and other restricted items. Restricted items may be ordered through Procurement using a purchase requisition form.

Also, please remember to retain original boxes and packages on all items, especially all technology items for at least 30 days, in case a return will be required.

Preferred Suppliers

As a state agency we are mandated that a certain percentage of our business transactions are conducted with Diverse Suppliers , and Small Businesses .We are also required to purchase and report on certain recycled content products. Please purchase products from these vendors wherever possible.

The OfficeMax website includes a list of core items denoted by the symbol core items icon . Products with this symbol represent the CSU's highest usage in prior years, and afford the largest discount through the state contract with OfficeMax. All other items available through OfficeMax will be discounted as well, but the biggest savings will be on these core items.
