Continued use of traditional procurement method hampers the adoption of innovative, and sustainable procurement practices capable of enhancing operational efficiency and long-term institutional performance. This research investigate the relationship between Green Supplier Selection (GSS) and flexible sourcing practices (FSP) in Nigeria Maritime University, South -South Region. The total population of the study comprised of 1,252 employees, using taro Yamane formula to determine a sample size of 303 employees. A descriptive survey research design was employed in the research, and a stratified random sampling technique was applied in the distribution of the survey to the participants including- procurement officers, internal auditors, logistics managers, administrative staff, and heads of departments. Copies of 303 questionnaires were distributed out of which 281 were returned, while the remaining 22 were not returned and utilized for the study. Both descriptive, inferential statistics, and Pearson correlation techniques were utilized in testing hypotheses to determine the relationships between the variables. The findings indicates a high association between green supplier selection (GSS) and flexible sourcing (FLS) based on responses from the participants. The study recommends university management to prioritize local sourcing and encourage investments in indigenous manufacturing firms to reduce dependence on foreign products such as office equipment and machines.
