ATI Accessible Electronic & Information Technology Procurement Timelines
Campuses should consider the potential impact of all E&IT acquisitions regardless of source or costs when these products or services are expected to be used by a significant portion of the campus community. This includes acquisitions that do not involve the exchange of monies (open source software) or that are below the $2,500 threshold (survey instruments that will be used by a significant percentage of students).
- August 10, 2007: Submission of the Electronic and Information Technology Procurement Plan.
- No later than September 1, 2007: Implementation of an accessible procurement process for E&IT formal solicitations and acquisitions greater than $50,000.
- September 1, 2008: Implementation of an accessible procurement process for E&IT acquisitions greater than $15,000. All procurement card purchases are exempt from the accessible procurement process at this point in time.
- September 1, 2009: Implementation of an accessible procurement process for all E&IT procurement card acquisitions greater than $2,500.
- September 1, 2010: Implementation of an accessible procurement process for all E&IT acquisitions less than or equal to $2,500 to be determined by this date, following evaluation of campus progress reports.
