Technology
Technology purchase requests may be initiated by school or departmental administrators, through the approved School or Departmental Initiator. Technology purchase requests should address needs identified in the department's Strategic & Operational Plan and be approved for purchase based on priorities established by your Vice President and ICT. |
Hardware items should be purchased per standards outlined on the Technology Hardware Standards page. The vendors for these items are as follows:
| Desktop computers | Dell Marketing |
| Laptop computers | Dell Marketing |
| Printers | Digital Intelligence Systems |
| Projectors/Screens | GovConnection |
| Other items | Call Purchasing for vendor |
A requisition should be created based on the pricing shown on the ICT website and forwarded to your Vice Present AND the CIO for approval. The requisition initiator must indicate the location where the item is to be installed, who will be the primary user of the item, the purpose for the purchase in the "Comments" section of the requisition. THE GL section should be left blank and the requisition should be left in Unfinished status. ICT will take care of completing the requisition once the purchase has been approved. Once the purchase is approved, a purchase order will be created and the item ordered by Purchasing. Upon the items arrival, a work order will be created by ICT to deliver/install the merchandise in the appropriate location.
Nonstandard items must go through an extensive approval process and will only be approved/supported if the hardware or software items are essential to the fulfillment of a department’s role and mission. ICT is available for consultation for those particular needs. Nonstandard purchases for academic areas must be approved through the Academic Technology department. Nonstandard purchases for administrative areas must be approved through ICT and the appropriate Vice President. Once a nonstandard item has been approved for use, the standard purchasing process outlined above should be followed. Purchasing will be happy to work with you on the best vendor to supply the approved nonstandard item.
Technology purchases are not allowed on the purchasing card.
