About ACUI Procure
ACUI Procure was launched in March 2000, and has now become a very valuable benefit of both institutional and associate membership in ACUI. ACUI Procure is a group buying program designed to harness the buying power of all ACUI member institutions, and to offer the best value on the products and services that college campuses need. ACUI Procure provides access to proven products and services that are designed for the higher education environment and live up to the high standards campuses expect. As a premium benefit of membership, the savings alone from purchasing through ACUI Procure can pay for your membership dues!
ACUI Procure offers full-service procurement, delivering the best value to our members by saving time as well as money. Many top brands have aligned with ACUI Procure to offer proven products, full installation services, and ongoing customer service after the sale.

ACUI Procure benefits extend to every department on campus, so member institutions can achieve savings three ways:
- ACUI Procure group pricing is almost always below dealer pricing and internet store pricing.
- ACUI Procure harnesses the buying power of the group to offer members the lowest possible prices and the highest possible value.
- ACUI Procure issues year-end rebates based on the institution's total sales volume. These rebates are recorded at the end of each calendar year and remitted to the member each spring. Paying invoices promptly maximizes the rebate benefit associated with ACUI Procure.
ACUI Procure requires no minimum purchase so smaller campuses and departments with smaller budgets can maximize savings opportunities. Institutions with large-quantity purchasing needs are encouraged to call ACUI Procure for special bid pricing. ACUI Procure's goal is to save you time in finding the products and services you need and save you money. In most cases, group pricing is lower than the price any institution can achieve alone, even when purchasing direct from the manufacturer. That's the power of group buying!
ACUI Procure offers quality products, great service, and maximum savings based on our combined purchasing power. ACUI Procure is who to buy from, and offers a smarter way to save.

What people are saying about ACUI Procure:
“ACUI Procure staff is incredible because they are informative and respond very quickly. I am able to get estimates in a timely fashion. If there’s an item that I need and ACUI Procure doesn’t currently have a vendor, they will find me one.” — Michelle McBrite, Purdue Memorial Union Facility Manager, Purdue University
“I have ordered whiteboards and projection screens for classrooms. ACUI Procure staff did a great job working through the process from beginning to end." — Bill Horstman, Associate Director, Florida Atlantic University Student Union
“When ACUI Procure started, I kept looking for the catch—prices below sticker, the RFPs/shopping is done for me, and even if our fraternity houses or residence halls buy furniture, I get to keep the rebate. I can even beat the prices that our purchasing department can get! Over time I also realized how much the vendors were participating in other ways as a result of ACUI Procure—we have more sponsors, advertisers, and associate members now than ever before. I’m no longer skeptical, and now my staff just calls Martha and Ty any time someone on my campus needs to purchase something.” — Tom Hauber, Director, VPUL Facilities, University of Pennsylvania
