Delegated Purchasing Authority for ADP Hardware/Software
Effective immediately, University departmental authority to purchase ADP hardware/ software without competition is revised as noted below:
- Purchase is under $7,500. Departments may purchase ADP hardware/software up to $7,500.
Regardless of the dollar amount, departments may obtain technical assistance from their area representative. The area computing representatives are -
Academic Units: Dave Brobst, 8-4827, fax to 8-8676, or email at dbrobst@mail1.vcu.edu );
Administrative Units: Tonie Ellerson, 8-2101, fax to 8-4892, or email at tmellers@vcu.edu ) .
Technical assistance for cabling and networking services may be obtained from VCUNet by calling Bill Jones, 8-9912.
- Purchase is greater than $7,500 and on State or University Contracts. If the item is greater than $7,500 and is on the
State or University contracts, the purchase must be sent to University Purchasing for processing. After receiving a quote from the vendor, prepare an
on-line requisition, and forward a copy of the on-line requisition and quote to University Purchasing for processing. Please reference the contract number
in the title of the requisition.
- Purchase is greater than $7,500 and is not on the State or University Contracts. If the purchase is greater than $5,000
but less than $50,000 and the purchase item is not on the State or University contracts, competition is required. University Purchasing will solicit the quotes
based on the specifications submitted by the requesting Department. Prepare an on-line requisition and forward a copy of the on-line requisition
and specifications to University Purchasing. Purchases over $50,000 require a formal solicitation (either an Invitation for Bids or a Request for
Proposals). Please work with University Purchasing on the specifications and other requirements. When the specifications are completed, prepare an
on-line requisition and forward a copy of the on-line requisition and the specifications to University Purchasing, who will place the order.
