Technology Purchases

What is CSUBUY?

The CSUBUY P2P system is a fully integrated platform designed to streamline procurement and payment operations across the CSU. This implementation will:

  • Automate and consolidate procurement and payment processes
  • Reduce manual reconciliation and increase visibility into spending
  • Improve internal controls, compliance, and customer service
  • Support a systemwide strategy (Multi-U) to manage rising costs and improve service deliver

 

Compliance with CSU Accessible Technology Initiative

The ICT Acquisition Authorization Process allows for reviews of all ICT-related acquisitions (purchased or obtained at no cost) to comply with CSU Accessible Technology Initiative(opens in a new tab) and University Information Security(opens in a new tab) Requirements. The CSU mandates all campuses make its programs, services, and activities accessible to ​persons with disabilities. This includes students, faculty, staff, and the general public who visit or attend a campus sponsored event. Section 508(opens in a new tab) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires the University ​to consider accessibility standards for all ICT​ products and services that it buys, creates, uses and maintains regardless of cost or funding source.

Acquisitions that fall under one or more of the following categories​ are subject to this process:

  • ​Electronic Content
  • Hardware
  • Software
  • Web
  • IT Services

See ​ About ICT Acquisitions for more information about the overall ICT review process, including specifics for the VPAT and ISO reviews, and detailed information about the Section 508 categories.
