Purchasing Resources

The university offers several resources for purchasing tech tools and related services. All university employees are eligible for M-Card discounts on communication devices. Strategic contracts offer units the opportunity to save the university money through carefully negotiated agreements with vendors that provide aggressive pricing on a wide variety of quality products and services in return for a commitment from the university to meet specific volume targets.

Monthly Stipend Option

Under this option, employees are responsible for purchasing the device and related service contract with their personal funds. All university employees are eligible for M-Card discounts on communication devices.

Note: University strategic contracts (see below) are not available to employees using this option.

University-Provided Option

When exercising the University-Provided Option, units must use a supplier that has a strategic contract with Procurement Services and offers discounted pricing to the university. Links to the strategic contract pages for these suppliers and instructions on how to obtain university pricing appear below.
