IT Hardware Departmental Purchases

The IT Purchasing Office does not accept personal use technology purchase requests.  Information Technology does provide information on discounted computers available for direct purchase from the manufacturer.

Information Technology coordinates the purchasing of computers, printers, Info Tech-related accessories, and software for UWSP business use.  All technology purchases at UWSP are reviewed to ensure adherence to all conditions related to State of Wisconsin contracts.

Departmental Hardware Purchases

Computers and Peripherals Through State of Wisconsin Contracts

Please use our IT Purchasing Forms to view default configurations for campus computers and tablets. Devices available through these forms have already been evaluated and adhere to all conditions related to State of Wisconsin contracts.

See IT Purchasing Forms (Excel file) attached at the right --->

These configurations are sufficient to run software used in the UWSP Computer Standard Load.  If you want to custom configure a computer, contact IT Purchasing for assistance. Do not use Dell or Apple websites to order any product.
