More Discounts from Today�s Business Solutions
Coog�s Top Picks Just Got Bigger
Today�s Business Solutions (TBS) has
over 11,000 office supply items in
its online catalog and provides an
average 50 percent discount off of
retail (printed catalog) prices to
UH departments. However, based on a
previous Educational & Institutional
(E&I) Cooperative agreement, TBS
offered even deeper discounts (up to
75 percent) on 300 of UH�s most
frequently purchased office products
known as �Coog�s Top Picks.�
Under a new E&I agreement, TBS can
increase the number of items in
�Coog�s Top Picks� to 600. To begin
with, the number has been increased
to 479 items based on UH spending
over the past six months with the
flexibility of adding 121 more as
departments identify office supplies
they frequently purchase that are
not on the list.
If you don�t find the product you
need in Coog�s Top Picks, please
email Stephanie Pulido at
stephanie@tbstx.com
and she will let you know if it or
an equivalent product can be added
to the list. Any item that is on E&I�s
list of top 3,000 office products
purchased nationwide is eligible to
be added to Coog�s Top Picks.
The current list of Coog�s Top Picks
is on the
UH Purchasing
web page.
Departments can also search for and
identify Coog�s Top Picks in the TBS
online catalog. They are listed as
�Contract Items� and have a
symbol
next to them. The TBS online catalog
is located at:
http://www.tbstx.com/.
Deeper Discounts on HP Toner and Ink
Hewlett-Packard has extended �HP Big
Deal� pricing to the University of
Houston, which will allow UH
departments to purchase HP toner and
ink from Today�s Business Solutions
at an average 31 percent discount
over the previous discounted price
offered by TBS.
Based on UH spending, 17
frequently-purchased HP toner and
ink cartridges will receive the HP
Big Deal discount. These discounted
prices are in effect through August
31, 2011. See the list of HP Big
Deal discounts on the
Purchasing web
page, as well as expected output for HP�s
LaserJet high capacity print
cartridges and multi-packs.
The 17 items with HP Big Deal
discounts are also included in
�Coog�s Top Picks,� as described
above. (Additional HP toner and ink
are also listed in Coog�s Top Picks
at a discount, but are not part of
the HP Big Deal. Only HP Big Deal
items receive an additional discount
from HP.) HP Big Deal discounts are
not available from other retailers
or from HP directly. They are only
available from Today�s Business
Solutions:
