Software and Hardware Purchase Request

What Is It?

Hardware Purchase Requests

This service sets campus computing standards in alignment with MCCCD guidelines, determines appropriate specifications based on resource need, and facilitates the procurement process including purchasing, receiving, and maintaining an operation inventory of all computing devices.  Devices include desktops, tablets, and/or other peripherals to be deployed in classrooms, labs, and offices.  

If you are purchasing memory storage devices such as external hard drives, memory cards, and USB sticks, You will need to fill out an External Memory Security Review (EMSR). Click Here to complete the dynamic form.

Software Purchase Requests

There are three main categories of software requests.

  1. New Purchase: We do not own it or it is not part of an existing license agreement. Requires a purchase, and complete testing and configuration are required for delivery.
  2. Renewal: We own it, but a new purchase is required to update and maintain the application. Typically complete testing and configuration are required for delivery.
  3. Request for Installation: An application that we own and that is not available in a self-service option. Typically requires targeting a device or individual to receive the application. For these requests, simply click here to enter a software support ticket.

Regardless of which category, if a TSRF has not been completed, this will delay the process.
