General Information . . .
This item can only be ordered through Purchasing on a web requisition.

Purchasing Cards cannot be used for furniture purchases with the following exception:

Purchasing has established a website with Storey Kenworthy that allows the ordering of a limited amount of products using your ISU p-card. The site can be accessed through AccessPlus under the p-card menu. all items ordered on this website will be shipped to Central Stores. Normal p-card restrictions and limits apply.

Iowa State University has a Contractual Agreement with Storey Kenworthy to supply the Allsteel furniture product lines at a substantial discount. The use of this contract is mandatory for all new furniture purchases unless there is substantiated reason for utilizing another manufacturer. These reasons could include the matching of existing furniture or a furniture need that cannot be met by the contractor. This Agreement was established through a competitive bid process and allows us access to all of the Allsteel product lines at substantial discounts.

Allsteel has several pricing levels of furniture and files to meet the needs and budgets of all departments.

Furniture can be designed and specified by the FPM Interior Designers Marcia Melone (290-3142) or Cindy Howe (290-2617).  Your department can submit a work request to FPM and one of the designers will be assigned to your request.
