ITS Procurement

Purchasing Process:

1. Send email to Purchase@lmu.edu, with either a quote already attached, or a detailed description including what the item is; model number or part number if known; or a web page link.
2. Vendors will be contacted to determine the best price and delivery times.
3. Final price is emailed to the department. An approved Requisition, including the budget number should be sent to Greg Hadzinski, ITS, Daum Hall , MS8370, x87523
4. If the item is a computer being added to Resource Management Plan (RMP), two Budget Change Requests will be needed. One is a temporary one-time BCR for the actual cost of the computer. Another is a permanent BCR for $500 annually to cover the replacement cost.
5. The Requisition is approved by our technical team and budget manager, if necessary.
6. Item is ordered through Purchase Order or P-card.
7. When it arrives, an Incident will be created, and the department will be contacted to arrange a time for installation/delivery.

What ITS Purchasing Buys:

Rule of thumb – If it goes IN a computer (including software), if it ATTACHES to a computer through a USB slot (Printers, Scanners, External Hard Drives, etc), ITS buys it. Please follow the seven steps in the Purchasing Process. Exceptions would include digital cameras, or other devices that are not used exclusively for computers. Those items can be purchased by the department with the proper internal approvals.
