Review technology requests for environment compatibility. Determine if the hardware, software, or service will be the best solution for the user’s requirements and whether the request is for standard ITS equipment. If the request is for a non-standard item, the request will need to be reviewed by the manager for Technical Support & Client Services. If the manager approves the purchase request for Technical Support & Client Services, the ticket should be forwarded to the ITS Technology Procurement team.
The ticket should be sent to the procurement queue once the ITS Service Desk member completes the requirements review and confirms the required solutions and purchase. Please follow the steps below to send them to the ITS Procurement team.

Primary Service Providers Used:
Dell Technologies (Computer Hardware, Peripherals)
Apple (Computer Hardware, Peripherals)

ITS Procurement cannot purchase these items and will need to be bought by the departments—non-technology items and office supplies for external customers outside the ITS department. Non-standard items include cell phones, cell phone or wi-fi service plans, apple charges, wireless mice, keyboards, and other items.
These are considered non-standard requests and should be reviewed by the Technical Support & Client Services manager.
Once the request has been reviewed, and the hardware, software, or technology service is compatible with Trinity's environment, send the ticket to the Procurement Request/Quote category. (Follow the ticket process provided in the ITS Procurement Queue para.)
-
ITS procurement team will review the request to ensure no other agreements or product types are already available on campus.
-
New agreements will need to be reviewed by the Risk Group. The customer will receive the Security and Risk Assessment Intake form to begin the process.

These are agreements paid by the department’s funds. ITS Procurement will review if similar product types are available on campus and inform the customer of any findings. The customer will be provided the Risk Intake form link to submit the agreement to the Security and Risk board to review.
ITS Procurement will close out the ticket once the information has been provided to the customer. If software installation is required after the agreement is purchased, the customer should treat this as a new request for software installation.
These are agreements that are paid out of the ITS budget. ITS procurement will facilitate the agreement transactions between the customer, service provider, and Risk team. Once all transactions are complete and the fully executed agreement is received and added to the ITS Master Contracts database, the ticket will be closed.
