Welcome to the IT Purchase Request Portal!
This site is your one-stop destination for submitting and managing requests for new technology purchases—whether it's hardware, software, or IT services. We've designed this platform to make the process simple and transparent, with helpful resources like FAQs, and contact information for support. You can easily start a new request, and access guidance to ensure your request meets all necessary requirements.
Submit your IT Purchase Request!
As part of the Alignment project that was introduced in February 2024, ITS needs to approve all IT purchases. This is necessary to eliminate duplication on contracts and ensure that IT solutions uphold the highest level of security to protect all users of the university. As of Fall 2025, only ITS and ERP is required to complete the IT Purchase Request, but other departments are encouraged to use the form and provide feedback before this process goes into effect in Spring 2026.

Managers Dashboard
The Managers Approval dashboard provides a streamlined interface for reviewing pending requests, including those awaiting action for over 24 hours. It displays the full approval workflow for both active and completed items, and is personalized based on the FSU credentials used at login. This ensures each user sees only the requests relevant to their role.

FAQs
Our goal is to ensure this process is as transparent as possible. Once you submit your IT Purchase request, there are a variety of approvals that will occur from a local level of your IT Manager to the ITS ELT. Each approver is notified via email when a request is submitted and reminded every 24 hour of any outstanding requests. It is our goal for this process to move quickly as possible, while ensuring that the requested purchase is safe for the larger FSU community.
Visit the IT Purchase Request Support Form page for an overview of the information you will need to complete the form. You can also submit a question if you need further assistance.
Yes. You can submit the form on behalf of another FSU employee, but you will still be listed as the requestor. The requestor is responsible for resubmitting pushed back requests and will receive email correspondence related to the form.
No. Once the form has been started, it cannot be saved and revisited at another time. The information entered in the form is only saved once it has been submitted for review.
A form can only be edited after submission if it has been pushed back by an approver. Once edited, the form will need to be resubmitted for the edits to be saved and available for review.
