Purchasing Process

UNLV SOM has partnered with RTI to provide a dedicated UNLV SOM store that provides a comprehensive offering of supported and compatible devices for the School of Medicine and UNLV Medicine.  The store allows staff to select from already approved computers, laptops, webcams, and monitors.

Expedited Purchasing Process

This version of the process begins with building your quote in the UNLV SOM Store and may result in a quicker turnaround.

1

Requester: Log into the UNLV SOM Store. Add the desired items into your shopping cart and check out. Once you check out, a quote will be emailed to you from weborders@1rti.com

2

Requester: Submit your quote to the Help Desk by creating a new help request.

3

SOM IT: Review the request for IT approval and to confirm that the scope and use of the equipment is appropriate and/or achievable.

4

UNLV Med Only

Once you receive IT approval:

  • Send the quote to your manager or administrator who approves departmental expenses.

Once the approval has been provided:

  • The manager, administrator, or employee with the authority to approve departmental funds should submit the quote and their approval to the help request.

  • If this process is circumvented, the purchase will not proceed until written approval is documented in the request from the department approver.

5

Both KSOM and UNLV Med

SOM IT: IT will submit the order and its reconciliation. SOM IT coordinates delivery, receipt, asset tagging, device imaging and setup, and distribution.

Purchasing Process with IT Assistance

This process will likely take longer as more discussion between the customer(s), vendor(s), and IT is required.

1

Requester: Submit a request to the Help Desk via the Shared Services Business Operations portal.

Indicate your technology purchasing needs with as much detail as possible.

2

SOM IT: Review the request for IT approval and to confirm that the scope and use of the equipment is appropriate and/or achievable. If applicable, SOM IT may direct the requester to the UNLV SOM Store.

If the request is for specialized or customizable technology, we will work with you to determine an appropriate vendor or technology build. We will procure the quote for you. Once you have received this quote, please proceed to Step 5.

3

Requester: Once you receive your quote, attach the file to the help request you created in Step 1.

4

The quote will be reviewed by SOM IT to confirm that the items match the approved request.

5

UNLV Med Only

Once you receive IT approval:

  • Send the quote to your manager or administrator who approves departmental expenses.

Once the approval has been provided:

  • The manager, administrator, or employee with the authority to approve departmental funds should submit the quote and their approval to the help request.

  • If this process is circumvented, the purchase will not proceed until written approval is documented in the request from the department approver.

MED spaces. If you need a laptop to have desktop capabilities, you will need to purchase a USB-C
Docking station (compatible with Elitebook) or a Thunderbolt Docking station (compatible with ZBook).
You can build your own package, or you may be interested in the bundle options on our website which
include: laptop, appropriate docking station, two (2) EliteDisplays, and a power strip.
