Bulk Computer Order Program

2025 Computer & Peripheral Bulk Buy Program

IT Services is excited to announce the launch of this year's Computer and Peripheral Bulk Buy Program! We have made several key improvements to enhance the purchasing experience, reduce turnaround time, and provide even better pricing for your technology needs.

What's New for 2025?

  • New Order Entry Application
    We’ve partnered with GCS-IT to develop a new online ordering system. The new platform enables year-round, real-time order processing directly with GCS-IT. This means faster processing, shorter delivery times, and easier access to computer purchases for departments. Watch this short instructional video to learn how to use the new Computer Order Entry system.
