Welcome to the Mountaineer Marketplace shopping guide!

You can access Mountaineer Marketplace through the WVU Staff Portal.

Shopping Guide

Below is a list of Catalogs currently in place on Mountaineer Marketplace under “Order Goods and Services” on the main page. These Catalogs include a wide range of contracted items with contracted suppliers and are the best value for purchasing. In addition to the negotiated discounts, these suppliers offer quick shopping, easy ordering, fast delivery, and other negotiated protections and services. Due to the contractually negotiated terms, utilizing these suppliers is in the best interest of the University.

For general questions, please review the Helpful Hints Directory or Commonly Asked Procurement Questions. For price matching, customer service issues or other questions about a specific catalog, please contact the appropriate Procurement Professional.
