Strategic Sourcing

The mission of Rutgers University Strategic Sourcing is to facilitate the acquisition of goods and services, through a consistent and comprehensive methodology, delivering total value to the business units and schools throughout the university, with a focus on continuous improvement.  

In collaboration with Rutgers business units and schools, we contract with suppliers who provide assurance of supply, quality, customer service, innovation, competitive cost, and compliance to meet or exceed university requirements. Throughout the life of the contract, we measure and evaluate supplier performance and develop improvement plans as needed to mitigate risk. These contracts and sourcing strategies are refreshed on a regular basis.​

Our commitment to continuous improvement enables us to remain agile and in line with industry trends, ensuring a protected supply chain for the university.
