Here are some tips in order to make your purchases from Dell process
smoothly. CSU, San Bernardino has a contract with Dell with
pricing accessed through their “Premier” web site at http://premier.dell.com/. Please
do not shop for your Dell computer under any other Dell site (ie.
www.dell.com - Home & Home Office, Small Business, Higher Education,
etc). The Premier site is the only one where you can get
access to the CSUSB contract pricing and you will need
a profile established in order to logon. Please
email our computer buyer, Amy Simmons, at asimmons@csusb.edu with
a request for access, and she will be happy to set up your access
to the web site.
Quotes:
All purchase orders are faxed to Dell with a copy of the
quote attached so it is important that you either forward the
quote to Amy, or that you note the E-Quote number on the requisition.
- To generate a quote, you or your IT Consultant can
navigate through the site to find the computer that will best
fit your needs.
- Once you have configured your custom computer, please be sure
to update the price and then click on the "Save as E-Quote" button.
- You will be asked to enter some information such as your name,
email address, the quote name and description.
- Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click "Continue".
- A quote number (1000xxxxxxx) will be assigned to your order. Please
note this number in the Header Comments of your requisition.
Your other option is to get a quote from our sales representative
at Dell. You can send the specifications of the computer
that you want to Kevin_Nordhaus@Dell.com. Unlike the E-Quotes,
our buyer cannot access these quotes electronically, so they must
be forwarded to Amy through email, interoffice mail or fax.
Environmental Fee:
Please remember that all computers or laptops with monitors
or LCD screens are subject to a California State Environmental
Fee. This fee should be entered as a separate line item
as it is a service and is not taxable. The fee schedule is
as follows:
- Less than 15 inches = $6
- 15 inches to 35 inches = $8
- More than 35 inches = $10
**One last item to mention: The majority of the computers
that we buy (Desktop and Laptop) are considered micro computers
and not mainframes. The category code for these is 20400. Since
this code is for micro computers and peripherals, printers can
also be listed under this category code. Additional monitors
that are not purchased as part of a system and are on their own
requisition line should be under the category code 20460.
Please contact Amy Simmons at x75145 if you have any questions
about this process.
