The purpose of this section is to explain procurement requirements and procedures regarding information technology goods and services. This includes buying from contracts, using the request for resume process for contractors, and navigating NIS. In addition, the organizations that comprise DAS IT Services have a statutory requirement to review and approve all purchases of technology by agencies. A set of guidelines is included here that describes the purpose and criteria for those reviews and the information that is needed.
