All laptop and desktop computers purchased for use by campus personnel or using campus funds must meet the recommended ISU purchase standards. Quotes can be obtained from the TechCYte for academic departments or your analyst in Information Technology Services (ITS) for administrative units. Quotes can also be obtained by visiting ISU vendor sites for Dell, Gateway and Apple. To review purchase recommendations visit the
Desktop Standards Website. No central University support will be available for units purchased from non-preferred vendors.
Because of inventory and contract issues, the ISU Purchasing Card cannot be used to purchase computers or parts to assemble computers. Requests for computers that are not purchased through the TechCYte must be routed to Purchasing for processing on a
web requisition.
