Approved FAX Listing

Revised July 10, 2007

The facsimile machines on this list represent machines that have been approved by Network Services for state agencies to purchase without Division approval.  These machines are all under $1,500.  Any machines over $1,500 must be ordered on a purchase requisition that is sent to Network Services following the directions at the bottom of this page.  In accordance with State Purchasing rules, agencies are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to get three fax bids on any purchase over $500.

Network Services will update the above list as new fax machines under $1500 are approved for purchase.

NOTE:
Any ALL-IN-ONE units that have a copier must be approved by MATERIAL DIVISION prior to the CIO VOICE section approval.

 

TO PURCHASE A FACSIMILE MACHINE NOT ON THE APPROVED LIST

If an agency wishes to purchase a fax machine that is not on the above list, and it is under $1,500, an OT document must be submitted via the Nebraska Information System (NIS), agencies are encouraged to get 3 fax bids, either by fax at 402/471-3339, electronically at , Nancy Richters, nancy.richters@nebraska.gov , phone 471-0542 and JoDee Steel, jodee.steel@nebraska.gov, phone 471-4860, or by mail. The fax bids can be verbal. Network Services does not require any formal bid documents from the vendors. Network Services will assure the machine meets standards, approve the purchase and contact the agency relaying approval status so the agency can proceed with the purchase. Normally, this is accomplished within two-hours, and in most cases it is a matter of minutes. In the case of an emergency, Network Services can give verbal approval for replacement of the fax machine with the documentation to follow from the agency.

TO PURCHASE A FACSIMILE MACHINE OVER $1,500

Agencies wishing to purchase a fax machine that is over $1,500 and under $5,000, must submit an OT document via NIS along with 3 fax bids, either by fax at 402/471-3339, electronically at Nancy Richters, nancy.richters@nebraska.gov , phone 471-0542 and JoDee Steel, jodee.steel@nebraska.gov, phone 471-4860, or by mail.  The fax bids can be verbal.  Network Services does not require any formal bid documents from the vendors.  Network Services will proceed with the order by changing the agency OT document into an OP document within NIS and processing the order.  Network Services will provide the agency with a copy of the OP document for their records.  Network Services will have the fax machine shipped to the requesting agency.  Network Services will put the fax machine on the Network Services Fixed Asset listing.  Network Services will send the agency a tag to affix to the fax machine.  Normally, this type of order will be accomplished within 2 business days of the NIS request.

In the event that a fax machine is over $9,999.00, the formal bidding process through State Purchasing would be followed.
