Doing Business with UVM

UVM Purchasing Services appreciates your interest in doing business with the University of Vermont.

Notice to our Suppliers of Fraudulent Quote Request/Purchase Order Scam

There is an on-going nationwide email scam targeting vendors by using fake university purchase orders. The scam involves requests for product quotations using fraudulent credit applications that purport to originate from universities. The orders being attempted are usually quite large and involve highly resalable items.

If an order is received by email, please alert your staff to hover over the address to see if it was sent from an address that contains UVM's domain “@uvm.edu.”

In addition, please confirm the address for any suspicious or large dollar orders with the University. Orders placed by the University of Vermont are shipped to a campus or other official address. 

We value our relationships with our suppliers and wish to limit instances of victimization by this scam. Should you receive what appears to be a suspicious request, please forward the email to purchasing@uvm.edu for verification of the email's legitimacy before responding to the email or fulfilling the order. 

All UVM personnel are required to follow University purchasing and procurement policies and procedures to ensure that quality and service standards are met and to provide accountability for University expenditures.
