Purchasing

The demand for technology and technology-related services at Piedmont Community College (PCC) is increasing dramatically. As technology becomes more sophisticated and faculty, staff, and students become more sophisticated users, the cost of obtaining, supporting, and servicing technology is also increasing.

In an effort to better service PCC, Information Technology (IT) has developed a standard equipment list. Standardizing on our technology purchases allows Information Technology to better obtain, support and service technology in your building.  (The IT standard equipment list can downloaded from the link on the right)

To purchase technology please submit a purchase request signed by the appropriate personnel with the budget code you wish to use and authorizing IT to make the purchase for you, should be sent to the  Information Technology department.  (A purchase request form can downloaded from the link on the right)

Our goal is to provide technology and technology support that enables faculty, staff, and students to do their work, research, teaching, and learning activities in the most effective and efficient manner. Given that the budget is not unlimited, we must attend to costs and attempt to limit the costs to available resources in the budget.

Purchasing Process 

All purchases (except for consumables) for technology will be made through Information Technology.  (This includes grants and other organizations)

All purchases for software will be made through Information Technology.

To purchase software please submit a purchase request signed by the appropriate personnel with the budget code you wish to use and authorizing IT to make the purchase for you, should be sent to  Information Technology.  

Purchase of Toner/Ink Cartridges

In an effort to expedite service and achieve the highest level of quality, your department should purchase ink and toner cartridges (consumables) directly from the state contract vendors.  Information Technology will not order and supply departments with consumables.  

We truly appreciate all of your suggestions on how we can improve our process to better serve your needs.  Our goal is to truly surpass your expectations.
