The Hardware Procurement team at UMKC leverages University of Missouri and other state contracts to give faculty and staff access to a plethora of high-quality items at discounted prices. Working with UM Supply Chain, we ensure UMKC is getting best-in-class services and support for their IT investments by maintaining technical and business relationships with many highly respected vendors and manufacturers.
Whether you’re looking for computers, printers, or other peripherals, we have business technology analysts who can provide faculty and staff with expertise, guidance, and detailed information regarding the configuration, purchase, delivery, and warranty support options for the equipment they need at competitive prices. You can get an idea of what sort of equipment might be best for you and possible costs by checking out the Hardware Purchasing web pages. Be sure to reach out to our team at umkc-hardware@umkc.edu before making a purchase so we can help ensure you get the best deal for your budget.
In addition to routine and ongoing purchase requests, the Hardware Procurement team is also your resource for information and activities related to the annual Workstation Replacement Program. The goal of the program is to help faculty and staff coordinate a four- or five-year replacement cycle for their workstations. The Workstation Replacement Program has proven to be a cost-effective and efficient way to create a robust and sustainable computing environment for UMKC faculty and staff.
If you have any questions or requests for computers, mobile devices, or computer-related peripherals, please email umkc-hardware@umkc.edu. Our experts are ready to work with you on all your hardware purchasing needs.
