Doing Business with the University of Delaware

Effective January of 2026, the University of Delaware launched the UD Exchange Supplier Portal (powered by Jaggaer).  This supplier/payee registration and onboarding platform is a secure, web-based, self-service portal which allows all invited suppliers to self-register and maintain company record/profile in real time.  

All suppliers must be portal registered and approved in order to do business with the University and receive payment(s).  The content on this page along with the registration guide includes all the information needed to create and maintain your profile. Note: The University does not accept unsolicited requests from suppliers to be onboarded. You must be currently engaged in a transaction with UD to be invited to create an account in the system. 

JAGGAER is commonly used in Higher Education to support supplier onboarding. If you have already completed the supplier onboarding process with another institution using JAGGAER, you will still need to complete the UD supplier registration process to have an active profile in the UD supplier database.

University of Delaware

Tracing its origins to 1743, and chartered by the state in 1833, the University of Delaware is a land-grant, sea-grant and space-grant university. The university offers an impressive collection of educational resources. Undergraduates may choose to major in any one or more of over 130 academic majors. The university's distinguished faculty includes internationally known scientists, authors, and teachers, who are committed to continuing the university's tradition in providing one of the highest quality undergraduate educations available. The university enrolls over 19,000 undergraduates and over 4,100 graduate students. As a state-assisted, privately controlled institution, the university seeks to enroll students from diverse backgrounds and a wide variety of geographic regions. Currently, more than 60 percent of on campus undergraduates are nonresidents who represent nearly every state and several foreign countries. The university has a presence throughout the state of Delaware, with its main campus in Newark, an additional campus located in Lewes, and satellite locations in Wilmington, Dover, and Georgetown. For additional information, visit www.udel.edu.

Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

The University is committed to environmental stewardship. Suppliers are expected to support the University’s environmental sustainability efforts and to promote sustainable business practices within their own organizations. For more information, visit https://sites.udel.edu/sustainability/

Conducting Business with UD

It is the University of Delaware’s directive that business with the University may only be conducted after an approved University Purchase Order (PO) has been issued or upon authorization of a purchasing card payment for small, miscellaneous purchases. For business conducted via PO, all invoices submitted to the University of Delaware must clearly reference the PO number to avoid processing delays and be sent to accountspayable@udel.edu.

For suppliers established as approved suppliers, use of the UD Supplier Portal (powered by Jaggaer) provides the most efficient way to conduct business with the University. The online portal allows suppliers to manage company information. A future phase of the portal will allow suppliers to view open purchase orders, open invoices, and pending payments.

If your company is an approved University of Delaware supplier and is not yet registered in the portal, or if you would like additional information, please contact procurement@udel.edu.

The University of Delaware continuously screens all suppliers and payees for debarment and sanctions. UD cannot do business with or pay any individual or entity listed in these databases and may revoke approval or terminate contracts if a supplier’s status changes.

Suppliers must comply with all federal, state, and institutional requirements, including providing accurate tax and transaction documentation and using UD’s online registration systems when available. Failure to meet these requirements will prevent UD from engaging with the supplier.

The term “supplier” is a general term used to refer to any person or organization that needs to be set up in our UD Exchange Supplier Portal to be paid. Suppliers may be domestic or foreign individuals, corporations, governments,  and other institutions. 

NEW suppliers must be invited by a UD department to self- register in the UDX Supplier Portal. Approval of a supplier’s profile is required before we can process payments.  EXISTING suppliers needing updates to their profiles must also self register in the Portal. 

As a self- registered supplier, you can utilize the portal to manage your profile information including name, tax identification numbers, addresses, preferred payment methods and more.

  • Legal name, tax identification number, tax address, payment address, take order address and industry classification codes (NAICS).

  • IRS W-9 or W-8. Note: Prepopulated IRS forms can be downloaded as part of the registration process. This is our preferred submission method. Completed and signed IRS forms may also be uploaded.
