Information Technology is simplifying the way you order department technology purchases. For most items, you'll be able to go online, choose from a list of pre-approved items, select your delivery address, and pay.

To purchase technology items for personal use, continue to buy these at the USF Computer Store on their website.

Before You Start

USF has partnered with Connection, Inc to provide a wide variety of technology items at discounted prices to USF.

All items listed on the USF Computer Store Punch Out have been pre-approved for purchase and support for USF Tampa, and USF Health.

Purchase Orders

Purchases from the USF Computer Store which include an asset over $5,000 or when the total purchase order cost exceeds $10,000 a requisition request is required to produce a Purchase Order. Purchase Orders may also used to request goods or services from non-Punch Out suppliers:

All requisition requests are created through Bull Marketplace. For a step-by-step guide, please see Procurement Service’s Purchasing Manual on How to purchase from a Non-Punch Out Supplier.
Please have your approved UTSB form number available before starting your requisition request

Exception Approval Process Requirements

If you don't see something online that meets your needs or exceeds the thresholds in the IT Resources Purchasing Standards and Thresholds Policy ISSP-022, you will simply go through the procurement process by logging into ServiceNow and "Submit a Technology Purchase Exception Request" for approval.
