Mohave does not track order fulfillment or shipping status. Contact the vendor directly should you have any questions. Contact information for each vendor may be found within the vendor’s specific page on our website.

All PO’s, except E-Rate, should be made out to the vendor holding the contract you will be utilizing. Some contracts are fulfilled through sub-contractors or dealers, but the PO needs to be made out to the contract holder. Guidance for E-Rate and lease purchase orders can be found in our Member Handbook. If you are unsure of the correct vendor, call Mohave for confirmation.
Standard Purchase Orders – These purchase orders must be sent to Mohave. Mohave will review the purchase order to ensure contract compliance and forward a copy stamped “MESC Reviewed” to you and the vendor once the review is completed. No Standard Purchase Order should be sent directly to the vendor.
