Computers for Departmental Purchases
*NOTE: As a result of the current worldwide chip shortage, computer deliveries could be delayed for up to 5 months. Computers can still be ordered, but we ask that you plan for a longer than usual delivery to USM from the manufacturer. Estimated delivery dates are generally given from the manufacturer when orders are placed. We expect ship dates to be very fluid until chip production catches up with the demand.
This is not just computers, but anything that uses technology such as appliances, TV’s and even automobiles.*

Any configuration outside our standard models or recommended exceptions will not be supported by iTech.
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.
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.
