Technology Purchasing
Technology purchased and used on the USF St. Petersburg campus must meet the guidelines set by USF. Prior to purchasing technology for university use, USF St. Petersburg organizational units should review the standards. Departments are responsible for making purchasing decisions based on these standards. Please contact the USF St. Petersburg Help Desk with any questions.
Standards
- USF St. Petersburg Technology Purchasing Standards- This standard specifies how to differentiate standard technology purchases from those requiring special approval from USF St. Petersburg Campus Computing.
- USF IT Resource Purchasing Standards and Thresholds Document (ISSP-022)- This document outlines how to differentiate standard purchases from those requiring special approval outline by USF Tampa IT.
Purchasing Standard Technology
Standard technology can be purchased without IT approval. Standard technology can be purchased directly from approved vendors found in the USF Bull Marketplace in MyUSF. Standard technology can also be purchased from other vendors, such as Amazon (using the the USF business account).
Purchasing Non-Standard Technology
UTSB approval is required before purchasing non-standard technology. A Technology Purchase Exception request must be submitted in the USF Bull Marketplace to be reviewed by IT/Campus Computing. Click here for more information on how to submit a technology exception request.
