FSHN Office Procedures - Ordering

CyBuy

The FSHN department is requiring all associates to place orders through ISU’s CyBuy system. Currently the following vendors are available on CyBuy: Fisher Scientific, Sigma Aldrich, Qiagen, Invitrogen, IDT, Dell, CDW-G, Office Max, Central Stores and Chem Stores.

This program has been designed to allow for the procurement of supplies from contracted vendors in a streamlined online marketplace available through AccessPlus. Higher limits, less paperwork, and faster receipt of orders are just a few of the benefits.
