SPARTANS WILL|© Michigan State University|
Spartan Marketplace is an online procurement solution that provides MSU employees with an easy, effective way to place departmental orders. Benefits include:
Contracted pricing on off-campus supplier catalogs is what's paid by campus customers. There is no markup on those orders.
No, logins are based on an individual’s MSU NetID. There is no way to set up a shared login.
To cancel an order placed in Spartan Marketplace, contact the supplier directly. You will need to verify with the supplier whether the order has already shipped. If the order has not shipped, ask the supplier to cancel your order and send you an email confirming the cancellation.
You must then send an email to the help desk at spartmar@msu.edu to have your purchase order canceled in KFS.
It is not possible to change a PO once issued. Contact the Spartan Marketplace help desk for assistance at spartmar@msu.edu or call 517-884-6177.
Purchases for capital assets must not be made through Spartan Marketplace. Additionally, requests to purchase and install independent security systems and cameras must route through the MSU Police Department and MSU Information Technology. As such, these purchases are disallowed through Spartan Marketplace.
Other purchases must follow the Procurement Policy (formerly MBP Section 270) and other applicable university policies.
To return items to University Stores, follow their return and exchange directions. To return items ordered through Spartan Marketplace for suppliers other than University Stores:
Amazon Business allows for shipping to most locations, including office addresses and home addresses (as approved by your departmental leadership).
Airgas directly delivers compressed gas cylinders to on-campus addresses and select off-campus locations (noted below).
Other catalog suppliers only ship to on-campus addresses and select off-campus locations (noted below). MSU Extension offices or other off-campus addresses not listed below should use a PCard to make purchases, instead of using Spartan Marketplace.

Occasionally, ODP Business Solutions will offer discounted pricing for obsolete or other items that may be less expensive than the price in Spartan Marketplace. If this happens, please contact the Spartan Marketplace help desk at spartmar@msu.edu and we will process a price adjustment.
Purchases of IT hardware via Spartan Marketplace must adhere to MSU IT's policies and processes. MSU IT and MSU Procurement have agreed that hardware purchases from the following Spartan Marketplace catalogs represent minimal risk and may proceed without an IT Readiness form:
These exceptions only apply if the hardware is purchased via the corresponding Spartan Marketplace catalog. Hardware purchases made via another method (e.g., third party website, supplier’s website) or from another Spartan Marketplace catalog require the IT Readiness form to be completed, submitted via requisition, and approved prior to making the purchase.
