Computers for Departmental Purchases

The University of Southern Mississippi has worked with a preferred vendor to establish some standard computer specifications.

Standard Models (purchase through SOAR)
If ordering more than 5 of one machine please contact the Procurement Specialist at computer.orders@usm.edu for bundle pricing before placing the order through SOAR.

SOAR menu path: USM Utilities > USM Purchase > Purchase > Computer Purchase (Only budget authorities can view the menu path and place orders)

To place an order: Login to SOAR and follow the menu path that is listed above. For detailed instructions Click Here

Custom Configurations

If you need a computer configured outside of our recommended standard configurations, you will need to obtain a quote and submit it along with a business case to the Procurement Specialist. After reviewing your case, it may be submitted for IT governance approval.

To download non-standard computer form, click here.

Your business case will need to provide significant reasoning as to why you need to deviate from the standards. A quote of the requested equipment needs to be provided along with an explanation of the differences between the machines.

Business cases may be submitted to Box# 10001.

If you have any questions or need assistance please send an email to the Procurement Specialist at: computer.orders@usm.edu
