New Purchasing Program Between UA Little Rock and Amazon Business

Procurement Services is excited to announce the upcoming launch of a new purchasing program between UA Little Rock and Amazon Business on December 6, 2022. Keeping current contracts in mind, Amazon Business will be a recommended supplier for purchasing, effective December 6, 2022. Our campus will go live for P-cards on launch day and once the Workday punchout integration is completed the campus will be able to use purchase orders for Amazon. An update will be sent to the campus when the punchout is completed.

This new program simplifies your purchasing process and allows you to take advantage of Amazon’s wide product selection and competitive prices. Shopping on Amazon Business is as user-friendly as Amazon.com.

Benefits include:

  • Free 2-Day shipping on Prime-eligible items (learn more)
  • Access to millions of additional products, available only to Business customers
  • Ability to support small and diverse businesses with Diversity Certifications, so you can purchase/request items directly from:
      • Black-Owned Businesses
      • Women-Owned Small Businesses
      • Minority-Owned Businesses
      • Registered Small Businesses
      • Local Businesses
  • Business-specific pricing, including quantity discounts on eligible items
  • Access to a specialized Amazon Business Customer Service team

Training with Amazon Business will be held virtually on December 5 at 10 a.m.

An email will be sent on December 6 with instructions to set up your Amazon Business account.

If you have an existing Amazon.com account linked to your work email address you will need to complete the following steps to separate your personal account from a work account:

  • Log into Amazon.com with your current login information (only if it is a work email)
  • Go to Account > Login & Security
  • Click the Edit button for email and change the email address to a personal email.
  • Save

Going forward, all UA Little Rock Amazon purchases should be made through this new, central Amazon Business account.
Note: You will not be able to access the UASYS Amazon Business account prior to 12/6/22
