Office of Procurement Services

Attention Suppliers - Fraud Alert!

If you've received an out of the ordinary request for a quote, online inquiry or email coming from any domain (even ours, or like ours - columbia.edu or columbiaedu.com) please feel free to check with us by contacting us at the emails listed to the right. Spammers are randomly emailing suppliers posing as "Columbia Procurement" trying to steal from you!  Be sure of who you're dealing with before you create or ship anything.  (We would never just randomly email you requesting information or would we send you a W-9.)

Procurement Services is responsible for the sourcing, purchase, and payment of goods and services for the University.
