Computer Purchase Program | Revenue
The Arkansas Department of Education did the pilot run for the Computer Purchase Program with Division of Elementary and Secondary Education
stating July 2020 using its Asset Management System. Till date, the department has registered revenue of $603.27 for Year 2 of transformation.
The Computer Purchase Program process involves three (3) distinct phases:
Phase I: Employee returns current used equipment; IT Services refurbishes the Asset and send back to Original Employee who has 10 days to decide to buy or give a pass.
Phase II: Asset lands in the AMS catalog and any employee can buy one first server-first claim basis.
Phase III: Employee uploads purchase receipt as receives from Finance and claims the asset/equipment from IT Services.
Note: Only 1 laptop/tablet (I-Pads)/desktop and 2 monitors are allowed for purchase per quarter per employee to maintain an equitable distribution.
Disclaimer:
The disbursement of revenues is among the Department; Marketing and Redistribution section of Office of State Procurement; Computer & Electronic Recycling Funds (as established by Act 1410) and DFA-Office of Accounting (for Sales Tax portion).
