Current iBuyNU Vendors

Vendors are listed below with a note as to whether their catalogs are hosted or punchout.

Hosted: A catalog established by PRS on behalf of a preferred vendor that is included in the iBuyNU Marketplace.

Punchout: For many vendors included in the iBuyNU Marketplace, PRS has decided that it is more advantageous to allow departments and schools to connect to the contractor’s actual web site catalog that has been configured specifically to NU’s contract (products available, pricing, etc.).
