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.
Click for a list of supplies, equipment, and services which are not included in the
delegation:
All requisitions for items on this list must receive prior written approval from the
Office of Telecommunications Management before a purchase is made.
OTM has determined that some items require little or no technical expertise to develop
specifications. Click for second list of supplies, equipment, and services which are
included in the delegation:
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.
