Purchasing Guidelines

TECHNOLOGY PURCHASING GUIDELINES

Why have guidelines?

1. To insure that new technology purchases meet industry standards.

2. To insure that new equipment will work in conjunction with existing technologies, the network, and to maintain a spare parts inventory.

3. To negotiate lower prices based upon higher quantities, standardization, and relationships with vendors.

Purchasing:

•  Please put in a work order for quotes or for assistance with processing orders.

Only laptops, computers, tablets, iPads, projectors and projector mount/cables, and document cameras purchased according to these guidelines will be supported by the technology department and allowed on the AISD network.

 • For new computer/technology fixed asset purchases, enter a requisition with the AISD Technology Department as the shipping address (415 Tisdell Lane).  The Technology Network Coordinator must approve the requisition prior to processing the PO. Please allow time for this.

 • Once the PO is received, the items will be ordered and received by the Technology Department and a scanned copy of the packing slip/invoice will be emailed to the campus.  Technology will enter a work order for the item to be set up and installed at the campus.
