The eProcurement ordering system is UNC software that is used to place orders less than $5000 with select companies such as FedEx, Staples, VWR, Bio-Rad, Qiagen, Perkin Elmer, Sigma-Aldrich, Airgas, Geneese Scientific, Dell, Apple Computers, CDW-G, and Fischer Scientific.  All orders with these companies should go through ePro to take advantage of University-wide discounts.

For access to ePro, ask permission of Lynn Ray, Associate Chair for Administration in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, marsha_ray@med.unc.edu. She is located in the Genetic Medicine Building (GMB), Room 3012. Provide her with your Onyen, PID, and UNC email address. She must contact tech support to arrange this access.

Once permission is given, sign in to ConnectCarolina. At the bottom of the page, follow the note to faculty and staff to agree to the ePro Terms of Use policy. This only needs to be done once, the first time you have gained access.

The link to eProcurement is under the upper left SelfService tab on the ConnectCarolina homepage. Then on the pulldown menu click ePro Supplier Catalog. The first time you use ePro set up the default shipping and grant numbers with your lab manager. This also only needs to be done once. Then the links to all UNC ePro vendors will be accessible.
