Technology equipment and software purchases are reviewed, approved, and purchased via partnership with the Division of Information Technology , the Procurement Services Department, and department buyers. For this reason, equipment, software and peripherals have been assigned a classification to clearly define the “who, what, when, and how” of the procurement process. The 3 classification types are: Buy Your Own, Standard, and Non-Standard. The classification system allows you to select or request equipment and software by use of online forms and pre-approved item listings.
