Branded Apparel Procurement
University of Oregon Brand Management oversees the use of all branded apparel. FASS Purchasing is responsible for procuring the apparel for FASS customers. You (the Requester) are responsible for researching and confirming the details with an approved vendor.
Any UO branded apparel must be purchased from a University-approved vendor who has collaborated with the University to facilitate the use and approval of the UO logo and brand.
Step-by-step guide
- Find a UO-approved vendor for university branded apparel
- A list of approved vendors can be found on the UO Brand Management website under the Brand Management and Trademark Licensing Guidelines section.
- Estimate the total budget.
- Submit a ticket to fass@uoregon.edu to work with a Buyer prior to contacting the vendor if the budget is over $25,000 or $10,000 if federal funds are involved.
- Select an appropriate vendor from the list of approved vendors. If needed, a FASS Buyer can direct you to an appropriate vendor for the apparel you are looking to procure.
- Contact the vendor directly, providing the scope of work and details of how the UO logo will be used. The vendor will provide an order for you to review and ensure all brand management approvals have been confirmed.
- Once an approved scope of work is agreed on between you and the vendor, submit a purchase request ticket at fass@uoregon.edu.
- FASS purchasing will create the purchase order based on the approved scope of work provided by the vendor and you (the requester). All normal financial procurement rules and policies apply
