Pcard Delegation form for ODP Business Solutions accounts
Creating an account
Step 1: Apply for an Office Depot Business accountAccount Application Form
Step 2: Begin saving money by using ODP Business Solutions
Here are some tips for using the ODP contract:
- Use “Live Chat” feature to inquire about products if you need more info that the site provides. If you ever need other types of customer service, contact 888.777.4044
- There is no minimum order, but best practice is to order weekly, or when order value will exceed $30. However, if there’s a valid urgency, go ahead and place a smaller order. Avoid paying full retail at a local store.
- Your log in only works on the contract website: ODP Business Solutions
What About Returning an Item?

Purchasing Methods
Delegation Options:
- Do you want to let someone else place ODP Business Solutions orders on your PCard, without the need to approve every purchase? Use this form.
- Are you an Approver, but will be unavailable to approve purchases, and want to appoint a temporary Proxy Approver? Use this form.
Personal Reimbursement Requests
- Only in unusual circumstances should employees ever make a retail purchase and then request reimbursement
- Employees who make ODP Business Solutions purchases with personal funds pay full retail price; Contract savings are forfeited
- Full reimbursement is a waste of University resources – Departments may choose to reimburse at the contract rate, or not at all
