Moving services

ASU Purchasing and Business Services uses E&I cooperative purchasing agreement CNR-01503 for moving and relocation services.

UniGroup C.A. a Missouri cooperative association with offices at 1 Premier Dr. Fenton, MO 63026 is the awarded supplier under E&I contract CNR-01503, on behalf of its affiliates United Van Lines LLC, Mayflower Transit LLC, Armstrong Relocation Companies LLC and such other affiliates may provide relocation.

These contracts cover a range of negotiated pricing according to the type of relocation services required and points of service by territories.

If you choose to use a professional move with ASU funds, please ensure you utilize the moving companies under the UniGroup affiliate, as listed below and will be updated as more information becomes available.

You must have authorization by a contract or purchase order if expenses exceed $10,000. The department issuing the request initiates this process in Workday. Costs less than $10,000 do not require a purchase order. The department can request a PO.

ASU's P-Card is also available for departments when they incur expenses relating to a single contracted company.

ASU Purchasing and Business Services will not resolve any problems encountered with any vendor other than the moving companies with whom ASU has contractual agreements. Using non-ASU contracted moving companies may not provide adequate protection for damage or the leverage to solve problems. Regardless of how you manage a move, moving expense payments to vendors for ASU employees must follow university policies and procedures.
