The Foundation for California Community Colleges, through its CollegeBuys program, is committed to supporting the educational technology needs of CCCs. In recent years, CollegeBuys has rolled out enhanced bulk purchasing programs (STAC, STARTE) to streamline local procurement by centralizing the ordering of online technology tools while securing deeper discounts from vendors.
 
Currently, CollegeBuys is gathering information about systemwide laptop purchases to explore the opportunity to expand our bulk purchasing program and deliver further discounts to CCCs. This survey is directed to procurement managers associated with information technology departments/units to better understand systemwide trends in laptop purchases and specifications. In addition to informing opportunities to negotiate system-wide discounts, the information will help inform strategies for maximizing IT infrastructure funding and support, as noted in DII Memo 22-300-01.
