A copy of the electronics purchasing policy, directive, or guidelines:
The electronics purchasing policy, directive, or guidelines :
As a standardized campus regarding technology purchases, all computers, regardless of chassis type, and peripherals such as monitors, printers etc purchased by Southern Illinois University are done so through our Dell and Apple contracts. The technology we focus on purchasing are all business class lines of computers and each restricted to a minimum set of specification configurations. We refrain from consumer line purchases. Both Dell and Apple have a long list of EPEAT Gold, Silver and Bronze rated models that we purchase regularly in their business class lines.
A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed:
All technology purchase requests are to be directed to our Information Technology department. IT will review each order to be sure each meets the minimum standards for campus purchases. Our contract configurations have ESTAR SKUs embedded without the ability for an end user to change them ensuring we receive EPEAT rated product. If a requested configuration meets the standards set for campus, the order is approved. If a requested configuration does not meet IT standards, the request is denied until the submitted configuration is compliant.
