Amazon Restrictions

March 25, 2024

OSU Purchasing has worked with Amazon to block products from purchase that fall under certain categories for which we may have a contract supplier able to offer the same or similar product through BuckeyeBuy. 

You may remember in the past, a banner would appear noting the item may be restricted, but would still allow you to purchase it.

We will continue to advocate for procurement flexibility for OSU Extension and re-implementation of these blocked products.

 Per Nathan Andridge, director of OSU Purchasing:

Reach out to this email BF-PRSM-OSUPUR@osu.edu if you need help identifying a contracted supplier in BuckeyeBuy that can source blocked on Amazon Business
