Procurement Division


The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is operated by Princeton University under contract to the United States Department of Energy (USDOE). PPPL is the only USDOE laboratory fully dedicated to the research and development of fusion as a safe and virtually inexhaustible energy alternative.

PPPL is an autonomous organization within the Princeton University structure. The Procurement Division is part of the PPPL Business Operations Office and is responsible for procuring all of the goods and services needed to operate the Laboratory.  PPPL Procurement is functionally independent from the Princeton University Purchasing Office but maintains a liaison with main campus.

Note

Fraudulent Requests for Quote (RFQs) and Purchase Orders (POs) - Suppliers and Vendors beware: Please be aware that fraudulent RFQs and POs for toner and hard drives are being circulated. If the PPPL information on an RFQ or PO you've received appears suspect, or if you've never done business with PPPL and have received an RFQ or PO, please contact us at 609-243-3254.  Correct email addresses from PPPL end with "pppl.gov (link is external)", and not "ppplbid.org (link is external)". This is incorrect.  Also, 609-803-3256 and 609-435-1389 are incorrect telephone and fax numbers, respectively.  Additionally, PPPL is not liable for unauthorized or fraudulent activities purporting to be from us.
