Pepsi Contract Reminder

Brandi Renton, Interim Vice President for Business Affairs

Each year, we take the opportunity to remind personnel at University of Florida properties that Pepsi has the exclusive beverage and pouring rights contract at UF. In accordance with the contract, only Pepsi products (including soft drinks, juices, iced tea, energy drinks, chilled coffee drinks, Aquafina and Propel bottled water, and Gatorade) may be served on university properties in Alachua, Duval, and Palm Beach Counties, including the University Athletic Association, UF Foundation, UF Health Shands Hospitals and Clinics, and UF Scripps Biomedical Research Institute properties. Adherence to the Pepsi contract extends to events such as faculty meetings, dean’s luncheons, staff retreats, catered functions, or special events.

UF Procurement Services has worked closely with Pepsi and Mister Paper to provide a convenient ordering process for procuring smaller quantities of Pepsi products. For orders of less than 10 cases, Pepsi products can be ordered from Mister Paper. See new detailed instructions at https://procurement.ufl.edu/pepsi/ and order through the myUF Marketplace.

Please contact the Pepsi representatives listed below directly to order any combination of Pepsi products that are 10 or more cases:

Occasionally, you may observe Pepsi pricing specials in local stores advertised to attract customers. Although these offers may be enticing, the University’s partnership with Pepsi should be honored by placing orders directly with either Mister Paper or Pepsi. 

Ordering Pepsi products for your own personal use directly through Pepsi or Mr. Paper is prohibited.

Pepsi generously contributes significant financial support to the University in the form of sponsorships, promotions, sampling events, and scholarship dollars. We appreciate your partnership in support of this program.
