Amazon Purchases on a P-Card

Amazon Purchases: Procurement Card Restrictions

The university Procurement Card is NOT to be used with a personal Amazon account. 

Why Use the Aggie Enterprise Catalog for Amazon Purchases?

The UC Davis Amazon Business catalog in Aggie Enterprise is how Amazon purchases are to be made.  This catalog has been curated specifically for UC Davis and contains thousands of products that are appropriate for university purchasing, per the university contract. Using this catalog in Aggie Enterprise ensures:

  • The appropriate reviews and approvals take place before the order is fulfilled by Amazon. 
  • The university continues to get the best pricing and terms and conditions from Amazon.

What if the Aggie Enterprise Catalog Doesn't Meet Our Business Needs?

If there is a reason why you feel you cannot use the Amazon Business catalog in Aggie Enterprise, it may be possible for you to use a UC Davis Procurement Card to make purchases.  Before doing so:

  1. Reach out to the Procurement Help Desk at [email protected] and advise of your specific situation, including the types of products you intend to purchase.  
  2. The Help Desk will make sure you have been added to the UC Davis Amazon Business account, which can then be used with your Procurement Card.
