Please see the Buyer Commodities page to find the correct University Buyer for Promotional Items and T-Shirts to answer any questions you may have. Any T-Shirt or promotional item will also need to comply with Strategic Communications policies, guidelines and approvals. All items will need a Branding & Licensing Approval Form.
T-Shirts
A standing contract is in place for purchasing T-shirts, offering a variety of brands and options, including long sleeve, short sleeve, with or without pockets, single-sided or double-sided printing, and multiple color choices for artwork. To find supplier contact information, search for “T-Shirts” on the Approved Contracts page.
Novelties/Promotional Items
Looking to order promotional items for your department or event? Departments may use any Internal Campus Supplier for these purchases.
Consolidus is a contract vendor offering a wide selection of customizable promotional products and is available on buyBAMA for your convenience.
While departments may choose to purchase from other vendors, please note: Alabama State Bid Law applies to non-contract purchases. Purchases exceeding the $75,000 bid threshold will likely require competitive bidding.

This license allows vendors to produce products for University departments and groups; this license does not allow the vendor to sell products to any other entity or individual.
