IT Hardware Purchases
To ensure mandatory state and university regulations and policy guidelines are strictly
adhered to in the procurement, inventorying and eventual deployment of both Designated
Non-Capital Assets (DNCA)
or other technology-related equipment, the EBO will work in close proximity with the
Center Office of Information Technology and Communications (OITC) to pre-screen and
validate any such request for purchase.
IT purchase requests which reference vendors from outside of the approved university lists
or equipment-systems which fail to meet base UMD or Center standards and requirements for
security, warranty and data integrity safeguards and protections will not be processed.
Software Purchases - UMD Site Licensing
All requests for software related purchases will be routed through the ESSIC Office of
Information Technology and Communications (OITC) to verify university standards and
compliances for installation, data protections and use cases are maintained.
Note to prospective end-users of UMD site licenses: The majority of products offered through
UMD site licensing are available for “Departmental” use ONLY. Product installation is prohibited
on anything other than University of Maryland owned and managed computers. The exception to
this rule are products which are also licensed for “Work at Home” usage.
See the following link for an
explanation of these guidelines and the associated products.
