Faculty and Staff: Buying Hardware, Software and PeripheralsThe Office of Purchasing and UIS-Hoya Computing offer several services to help you acquire computers, software and peripherals. Before you buy, remember if you are buying for yourself with your own credit card, select Personal Purchase. If you are purchasing for departmental use at the university, select Institutional Purchase. If you need more information regarding payment methods and instructions, click here. Note that there are some restrictions on specific types of equipment such as flat screen TVs and audio visual equipment. These restrictions are designed to protect against fraud and are required by audit controls. You may still purchase these items, but you must do so through the regular purchase order procedures rather than directly using your PROCard. For a list of restricted items, click here here. Hardware e.g. Dell/Apple desktop computers, servers, monitors, laptops. Hardware is available as either a personal purchase for you or institutionally, for your school or department. Faculty and staff can go directly to the Dell and Apple Web site (exclusive to the Georgetown University community) to purchase hardware. Software e.g. Microsoft Project, Adobe Indesign, Cisco VPN software etc. Software is available to borrow or purchase for your personal use or institutionally, for your school or department. To order at educational discount prices, you can visit Georgetown's CDW-G Store. Personal purchases of Microsoft software can be made through Georgetown's Microsoft Portal. Remember, before you make any purchase decision that common software programs are available at no cost from the Hoya Lending Library. Peripherals e.g. computer mouse, phones, USB drives, monitors (without the computer), Apple and Dell accesories. Peripherals are available to purchase for you personally or for your school or department. Payment Methods and Instructions: 1. PROCard The University offers standard computer workstation and laptops that can be purchased directly with your PROCard. Standards include Dell and Apple laptop and workstations for University Services, Main Campus, and the Medical Center. The Business School offers a Lenova standard. Computer workstations and laptops outside the University standard recommendations should not be purchased directly on the PROcard. Main campus faculty and staff members who are full time and not grant funded are on a campus-funded 3 year replacement cycle for their primary workstation. For information on the Main Campus Replacement Cycle, click here. 2. GU Purchase Order Submit a print-out of the price quote and a Purchase Requisition Form/GU Purchase Order to Elizabeth Goodloe ( GU Purchasing Department) at Suite 2000, 3300 Whitehaven St., N.W., (Phone: 202-687-6042 or Fax: 202-687-2506) NOTE: The purchase of a non-standard computer system may result in the loss of on-site support for that computer, or the institution of fee-based service. Contact Leona Gray (202-687-4473, Fax: 202-687-1505, lsg2 @ georgetown.edu) if you have questions. Exception Process: What if I need something else? If you require an exception please contact Jacalyn Banks, Associate Director, University Information Services at jlb48 @ georgetown.edu or 202 687-8812 for assistance. Exceptions are often required for machines intended for use with more data intensive software applications, some media applications, and research purposes. Consultation is designed to ensure that the workstation is compatible with the systems and services that you need and includes all the components that you require. For multiple or higher priced workstations and laptops, we can sometimes negotiate a deeper discount with Dell or Apple on your behalf. Law School and Business School may contact their local technology centers directly for exceptions. If you have further questions go to Frequently Asked Questions about Institutional Purchases or contact the Hoya Help Desk. |
