State of Connecticut PC Peripherals

Ordering System

The Connecticut Department of Information Technology has recently awarded Contract 05ITZ0076 for PC peripherals, to be used by all in scope state agencies. The contract is based on a percentage off vendor list price. DOIT encourages political subdivisions, municipalities, non-profits, and educational institutions to take advantage of the cost savings discounts offered under this contract.

Three responsible vendors are currently under contract to provide computer peripherals, including CDWG.

Users can order computer peripherals at state contract pricing directly from these vendors via website, phone, fax, or mail. All contracted vendors accept procurement cards, as well as purchase orders.

On the websites, a market basket approach conveniently allows browsing and ordering of peripheral products, in the categories covered by the contract. The Internet-based ordering system provides a secure, hierarchical-based approval process, to ensure that orders are approved according to set internal business rules, and that orders are fiscally responsible. The entire process is administered at DOIT, through central contacts at the agencies.

How to establish a user account on the state peripherals ordering websites

Contact the central peripherals contact for your agency or organization. This is usually someone in your fiscal office or purchasing office. Or, you may call the peripherals ordering system administrator at DOIT, Elizabeth Basso, to find out who has been identified as your central contact. The process of creating, deleting, or modifying user accounts at each agency or organization is coordinated through the central contact person, and begins with the Role Assignment Forms. Once the forms are submitted to DOIT, the administrator at DOIT then creates user accounts, enabling access to the peripherals website(s).
