Hardware Purchase Procedures


To ensure that all hardware purchases meet the university's standards, purchasers must obtain a quote from an ITS-approved vendor. For all standard hardware purchases, ITS highly recommends going through Summus.

Below are the steps to obtain a quote and proceed with your purchase:

  1. Select a Device:

    • Choose a device from the list of ITS-approved standards, (shown below).
    • If you need a device that is not on the list, please complete the Non-standard Hardware Exception Request form. Our ITS team will review your request and notify you of the decision.
    • If you need assistance in selecting the best product for your needs, kindly submit an IT ticket request for a consultation. A member of the ITS team will reach out to provide personalized assistance.
  2. Request a Quote:

    • Please email Donnail Elliot with Summus at Donnail.Elliott@summusindustries.com to request a quote.
    • Be sure to include the device make and model, along with the quantity needed.
      • Example: “I am requesting a quote for (5) Dell Latitude 5550 laptops and (5) Dell 34" Curved USB-C Hub monitors.”
  3. Proceed with the Purchase:

    • Once you receive the quote, you can move forward with the purchase.
    • Please allow 1-2 business days for Summus to process your quote request.
