Op8.16 Procurement Procedures

All requisitions or payment requests for purchases of new hardware and software are required to be reviewed, approved, and documented by the Office of Information Services. Documentation must be submitted with the requisition payment request.

Purchasing Campus-Standard Software

The majority of IT software purchases are for campus-standard software. Campus standards are based on what is required for day-to-day productivity, establishing licensing agreements with vendors, and volume purchasing to reduce costs.

 

Purchasing Non-Standard (Custom) Software

It is understood that non-standard or specialized software may be required for some departments or campus users. When requesting non-standard software, please include the reason this system is required. If your request is approved, you may then proceed to request a quote and complete the procurement/requisition process.
