Commodity Codes

Please use these codes when processing vendor payments. They are being tracked and monitored to increase efficiency within the University. The code used should be based upon general classification, or what best describes the purchase. If you have any questions or concerns with coding, please email procurement@kent.edu. Coding clarification has been provided on a few subjective commodities.

Additional information about using commodity codes can be found at this link

A spreadsheet based version that can be sorted by description can be found here. The spreadsheet is in a printable format.
