45020.3 Process for the Procurement of IT Goods and Services

January 16, 2026
  • The process for procurement of ITInformation Technology goods and services is more complicated than for procurement of non-ITInformation Technology goods and services. There is no single procurement method best suited universally for all categories of acquisition. Each procurement consists of differing elements that, overall, lend themselves more appropriately to one technique than to another. It is the responsibility of the EISEnterprise Information Services (formerly Information Services Division) Information Technology Goods and Services Procurement (ITGSP) to select the method of procurement to be used for each ITInformation Technology acquisition. All procurements for ITInformation Technology related goods and services shall be processed by ITGSP only, within EISEnterprise Information Services (formerly Information Services Division).
