SLU/Purchasing Signature

Telecommunication Related Purchases

The Office of State Purchasing has delegated certain purchasing authority to colleges and universities for telecommunications equipment and services. Effective July 1, 1996, the Office of Telecommunications Management delegated to colleges and universities the authority to develop and review technical specifications for telecommunications equipment and services commensurate with their existing purchasing authority and in accordance with the current Governor's Executive Order for "Small Purchases", for specific telecommunications supplies, equipment, and services with specific exceptions.

These items may be purchased without prior written approval from OTM in accordance with procedures used for obtaining other types of commodities.

If there is any uncertainty regarding the need for OTM approval or if your office needs to purchase a telecommunications item that does not appear on either list, then contact Southeastern's Basic Computing Services Dept (2138) for assistance in contacting OTM.
