Purchasing Apple Products Update
The Commonwealth continues to work with Apple on its e-commerce requirements which has directly impacted many Virginia schools, including Mason. Until this issue is fully resolved, Apple will not accept Pcard Orders (PCO) through eVA. All Mason buyers should either procure products using a Purchase Order via eVA, directly from Apple (Contract VA-150605-APPL and eVA #E20862) or use the alternate providers listed below. Departments may contact Purchasing at purch1@gmu.edu if additional assistance is needed.

The following sources are alternate vendors where Apple products may be purchased:
|
|
Patriot Tech (Barnes and Noble, eVA #VS0000038907)
