OIT has transitioned its Departmental Purchasing Service to Bookstores' punchout on U Market!

On February 20, 2023, The Office of Information Technology (OIT) transitioned its Twin Cities' Departmental Computer & Device Purchasing Service to the University of Minnesota Bookstores' punchout site on U Market.

Faculty and staff in units supported by OIT should now order computers through the Bookstores’ punchout—located under “Electronic Components, A/V, Computer Equipment, Software & Supplies” on the U Market welcome screen. 

Detailed ordering information and frequently asked questions (FAQs) are available.

Departments outside the Twin Cities and Twin Cities departments not supported by OIT are not impacted by this change and will continue to use their current computer procurement processes.

If you have questions about ordering OIT supported computers, please contact UMN Bookstores at [email protected].
