Beverage Purchases

Starting July 1, 2025, all SLCC departments may purchase beverages—either Coca-Cola or Pepsi products—from the outlet of their choice. SLCC’s Purchasing Department has tax-exempt Costco and Sam’s Club membership cards available for checkout if you choose to purchase beverages there. Other options include local grocery stores such as Walmart, Smith’s, Macy’s, and similar retailers. Please use your SLCC P-Card for these purchases and reconcile them according to standard procedures. When purchasing items from external vendors, follow the Small Dollar Guidelines and ensure you have tax removed at the point of sale.

We are also developing a mobile ordering site to provide a convenient option for purchasing both Coca-Cola and Pepsi products. This platform will streamline tax-exempt beverage purchases and simplify ordering service-based refreshments, including coffee, pastries, portable coolers, and more. The app is currently in development and is expected to launch in August.

If you are hosting a large event (Commencement, Convocation, SLCC 360, etc.), please reach out to the Auxiliary Services Manager to determine the best approach.
