This document was written specifically for Fiscal Officers (or which ever individual approves computer purchases for your UH department). It is assumed that a member of your department has followed ITS's instructions for making an online order with Dell and has given you two print-outs: one is the order for the computer equipment and one is the "E-quote" for this order.
(An E-quote is a unique reference number associated with an order for computer equipment which has been saved with Dell. Saving the order as an E-quote "locks onto" a price and configuration for up to 30 days. After 30 days, the E-quote is automatically deleted from Dell's system.)
(Do not include shipping. Dell provides free shipping for departmental purchases.)
Prepare a purchase order for this item using the new price calculated above. Use the WSCA Contract number for Dell (A63307 WSCA ) instead of using a state SPO VL number on your purchase order. Please note that although we may use the WSCA contract to purchase, Dell's Higher Ed Team can place your order. (Either pricing for WSCA or Dell's Higher Education pricing may be used to purchase UH equipment.) However, going through the Higher Ed team is slightly lower as they will accept the lowest price you find, and then waive the shipping cost.
If the order costs more than $2,500.00, you are required to fill out Form 95 from OPPRM.
