Last Revision: April 20, 2010
The term "computer-related items" as used in this policy refers to computer-related hardware, software and services. Purchases of computer-related items should be approved through the appropriate administrative channels.
It is the responsibility of the department head/account manager to have sufficient knowledge of the purchasing procedures required by the university for computer-related items when initiating such purchases and to seek the assistance of the director of Information Technology Services and the director of Procurement and Property Services as needed. Personnel in the Information Technology Services Department are available for consultation and can help to determine the feasibility of proposed acquisitions as each relates to consistency with the university's long range computing plan and with campus computing resource capabilities, and their effective interface/function with existing campus networks.
As needed, the Procurement and Property Services Department will provide the director of Information Technology Services with data regarding the purchase of computer-related items. This will assist the director in the preparation of computing reports required by the state of Texas on a regular basis.
