Office Supplies through Staples

All other office supplies are provided through the Staples desktop delivery program:

Staples: The DMC Contracts & Procurement Department's Desktop Delivery Program for Common Office Supplies at NYS discounted rates has standardized specific office supply items available from the Staples Online Catalog to Downstate departments utilizing State Funds for cost effectiveness and efficiency. This program will provide our departments with faster and easier ordering with desk top delivery usually by the next day. All DMC departments are encouraged to utilize the online ordering capabilities.

State account holders must first contact State Purchasing Department (Portia John 718-270-1123) and designate a departmental coordinator (typically your department's administrator) to receive online Staples program training. Once trained, your departmental coordinator will log into the StaplesLink.com program to prepare your order (create an on-line shopping cart). Your order will then be reviewed for funding availability and electronically approved by the Purchasing Department Coordinator. Once approved, your order will be electronically processed by Staples and delivered on the following business day.

Using STAPLESlink.com. Contact the DMC Purchasing Department's main coordinator (Portia John 718-270-1123) for training and to receive your department's login and access instructions to use the on-line Staples program.

  • Policy Announcement for Staples Office Supplies, May 19, 2009
  • Ordering Items NOT on the DMC standardized Staples list: If your department wishes to order items that are NOT on the DMC-Staples standardized list, your department will need to process a standard State Purchase Requisition Form and process it for approval through the normal manual State Purchasing process.

Research account holders should contact Research Purchasing (Laisa Quezada, Ext 1118) to utilize the Research Foundation's Staples ordering process.

DMC Affiliated Companies (non-State Funds). All DMC Affiliates (Research Foundation, FSA, HSCB Foundation Inc, University Physicians of Brooklyn Inc, Children's Center of SUNY Brooklyn Inc, etc..) are welcomed and encouraged to use the DMC Staples program to receive the NYS program discounted rates, but must first set up a Stapleslink.com account for your affiliated company account. Contact the DMC Staples Account Executive at 800-950-1257 Ext 4676 to set up an online account for your DMC Affiliated company.
