All order requests from students must be submitted in Quartzy. This system allows students and instructors to keep track of order requests, approvals, spending by team, and delivery status.

The preferred purchase options are UT Market (1st choice) and Amazon (2nd choice). Other vendors can be used if the item is not available through the preferred options.
NOTE: Orders from vendors that the University has not worked with will require vendor setup and can take 1-2 weeks.


  • How to use UT Market
    See the UT Market Guide: https://utexas.app.box.com/v/utmarket-shopper-manual
    Assign the UT Market cart to EID youngkd
    The UT Market cart will processed once the associated request has been approved in Quartzy
  • Why do I copy UT Market into Quartzy?
    UT Market allows you to send a cart directly to the Purchasing Coordinator but it does not tell us whether this order was discussed and approved. UT Market also does not provide an organized way to sort the accounts that should be charged for the orders.
    Quartzy allows us to track and communicate orders in an efficient way. As orders progress, confirmations, invoices, and tracking #'s can be added to Quartzy to continue to track your orders after they have processed and left UT Market.
  • What about buying from Quartzy?

  • How long will it take for my stuff to arrive after it has been ordered?
    Order delivery times can vary between vendors. Use '@' feature in the Quartzy comments section to ask the purchaser if tracking info is available
  • Purchase Order Info

The quote should include the vendor’s contact information (address, phone number, name of contact person and email address), a description of each item including part/stock #, price per item, quantity needed, shipping/delivery charges, F.O.B., and Lead Time. A vendor’s quote will normally include these things. Please note: the University operates with a Net 30 payment. No partial or pre-payments are allowed.
