Standardized Pricing for Computer Purchasing

Rick Haugerud, Asst Vice President, ITS Office of Cybersecurity

The University of Nebraska with the Nebraska State College System campuses have jointly signed a new system wide contract for computer purchasing. Information Technology Services and Procurement Services have selected three vendors: Dell, Connection, and CDW to provide common pricing for standardized, Windows-based computers and peripherals. The agreement is projected to cut costs by 17%, based on past purchase volumes.  

Next steps will be to review potential cost savings for Apple desktop/laptops. Purchasing from these new desktop/laptop and accessory standards identified by the request for proposal is a key BRT strategy. These devices are available now for order on each vendors’ eShop punch-out sites.

To help you compare these new options, we have put together a quick reference guide of all of the new standards. This pricing is available for all state entities, including the State of Nebraska and the three state colleges.
