IT Purchase Requests

Prior approval is required for all technology purchases. Use the IT Purchase Request form prior to making any technology purchase to initiate the review process. The time required to complete a review depends on the details of the purchase and the volume of requests for the departments reviewing. You will be notified if the purchase is approved or if additional information is required to complete the review. Purchases cannot proceed until you receive a final approval message via email.
IT approval does NOT replace funding or budget approvals that occur within the unit or the Expert Business Office (EBO). Upon review, this form will generate an approval email for you to submit with the purchase request or PCard documentation to the EBO.
All purchase requests for use at the Health Science Center (HSC) must be reviewed and approved by HSC Information Technology Services, regardless of dollar amount or availability on the Mountaineer Marketplace. This ensures compatibility and compliance with HSC policies and procedures.
IT approval is NOT required to purchase software available through the ITS Software Licensing program.
IT approval is NOT required to purchase computer peripherals such as keyboards, mice, cables, and webcams, provided they do not store data and cannot independently connect to any network.
IT approval is NOT required to purchase equipment identified as WVU Recommended from the Dell catalog in Mountaineer Marketplace.
Purchase requests that exceed $5,000 are sent to Procurement Contracting & Payment Services (PCPS) for additional review. A PCPS staff member will contact you to advise if additional forms or a legal review are required.
Purchase requests for technology that use university data may require additional review by ITS Information Security.
Eligibility
Any employee at WVU may complete this form. You may still require departmental or other approval to execute the purchase.
Cost
There is no charge to request or use this service; only costs for the goods or services you are buying.
