Purchasing Round
The TS and GS programs allow departments to choose any of the six CRP rounds during the three-year cycle to purchase computers. Departments may spread purchases out over time, may purchase all at once at the beginning of the cycle, or even wait until the end of the cycle to buy their computers. Please plan your purchases with your Regional Technician.
Covered Items
The Computer Replacement Program generally only provides funding for computers. However, up to one-third of the GS funding can be converted to “flexible spending” to cover costs related to installing and supporting the GS computers. Eligible expenses include wiring costs, printers, upgrades, and laptops. E-mail proposals to Jamey Hansen at hansenj@umn.edu for approval.
