Fraud Alert! The the ePro Team has received reports of Spam and/or Phishing emails from a Supplier. Suppliers should NEVER ask for credit card or personal information. In addition, departments have reported Amazon orders being placed that were not generated by their department. If you receive a questionable email from a Supplier, please report it to IT.

BuyCarolinaBuyCarolina, a new cloud-based purchasing solution, allows purchasers to comparison shop and make smarter purchasing decisions without having to “punch-out” to each supplier separately and start a new search. Instead of users having to perform separate searches across various suppliers, the system will return all similar products from different suppliers onto the search return screen. Purchasers can then compare items and their prices and select from the supplier they desire.

BuyCarolina allows departmental users to order online from contract vendors and pay electronically. These contract vendors provide deep discounts on UNC-Chapel Hill’s market basket.

Purchasing Limits

Most scientific, information technology and MRO supplies are limited to $25,000 per order through ePro. Vendors Perkin Elmer, Staples, Storr, Airgas, ARC3 and Amazon Business orders are limited to a maximum of $5,000 per order.
