As part of our eCampus plan, the University is trying to become as
standardized as possible with our computer hardware and software
purchases. To ensure this end as well as to ensure that we spend our
funds on computer hardware and software efficiently and wisely, the
Office of Information Systems is available to assist in the endeavor.
Therefore, any purchase of new hardware or software which totals $500 or
more must be coordinated with Information System.
- Obtain item description and pricing information in the usual
manner. Include as much detailed information about the item(s) as
possible. This step may be handled by I/S or Purchasing if so
desired.
- Have a member of the I/S staff review the specifications and
pricing information. At this point, I/S has only two options. I/S
may endorse the purchase or recommend otherwise. You are not bound
by the I/S recommendation. However, you will be requested to comment
why you wish to make a purchase other than that recommended by I/S.
- Prepare a requisition with either your original information or
that recommended by I/S. Place the following near the bottom of the
requisition:
This requisition has been coordinated with ________________ in
Information Systems and he/she ____endorses _____recommends
otherwise. (If “recommends otherwise” is checked, please comment.)
Purchasing will not process hardware/software requisitions of
$500.00 or more without this statement.
- Forward the requisition through normal channels.
NOTE: Requisitions with the above statement may be obtained from
Information Systems.
