Telecommunication Equipment and Supplies

Telecommunications equipment and supplies includes office telephones, cordless phones, VoiP telephones, data networking equipment, switches, hubs, routers, wireless access points, internet service and related items should be purchased from a contracted supplier through Show Me Shop whenever possible. Purchases outside of Show Me Shop and less than $5,000 may be purchased using the University One Card. Purchases between $5,000 and $10,000 require a PeopleSoft Requisition.

Purchases over $10,000 require a minimum of three competitive quotes, or written bid requests with detailed specifications prepared by UM Procurement. If you will be making several small purchases, and the total amount will exceed $10,000 in a 12-month period, a competitively bid contract may be appropriate. Contact the Strategic Sourcing Specialist listed for assistance.

Documents requiring a signature or with terms and conditions MUST be attached to a PeopleSoft Non-Catalog requisition and submitted to a Sourcing Contact for signature PRIOR to acquisition of good or services.  Signatures by an individual department are prohibited.
