Procurement, Contracts & Property
Need to Submit a Purchase Request?
- The new OIT Purchase Request Form should now be used for all purchase requests. Only one order request per request form will be accepted.

All OIT purchase request forms need to be submitted as an e-mail attachment to itpurch@alaska.edu.
When submitting the request form, the following information is required:

- Delivery contact's address
- Your FUND and ORG (including detailed info on any splits)
- At least one suggested source for all purchases <$5K--this includes contact information
- Description, part number or list of items
- Department/Project that your request will support
Requests >$5K require these additional items:

Please Note:
You will be notified when your ordered has been added to the purchasing queue. Please remember that procurements are processed in the order which they are received.
Any purchases requiring an IT Business Office employee to leave the building will be consolidated into one trip per week whenever possible.
Need to Start/Renew a Contract or Membership?
For all contracts, hardware, software, or membership renewals please contact Jenell Merrifield.
For establishing a new contractual or consulting agreement within OIT, please see the SOW guideline below. A funding source, vendor quotes, vendor W9, and SOW may be needed to establish a new contract.
Can't Wait? Try using a Blanket Purchase Order (BPO)
For expedited service, the IT Business Office can create a BPO (aka call #) for you to purchase items yourself at some local stores. BPO's can only be used for instock items (computer and office supplies) and one-time service (shipping, catering).
