3 Quotes Obtaining a Quote When requesting a quote, please provide specific information regarding the equipment that you would like to purchase to insure it will meet your needs. (IE. computer dvd-rw, extra memory; printer monochrome/color; or just a dollar amount within the budget you are working with.) Generating a Purchase Order from a Quote All purchase orders for computer equipment and non-instructional software should ship to Technology, with the purchase order vendor copy sent to Technology. Upon delivery, the equipment will have a fixed asset tag attached and a helpdesk will be done for delivery/setup. Flash drives, digital cameras, scanners, etc. can ship directly to the warehouse. Ordering instructions will accompany the quote. To prevent delay of your order, all information provided must be typed on the purchase order. If School Activity funds are being used to purchase software license, computers, printers, the purchase order must be typed and the vendor copy and a copy of the original should be sent to Technology. School Activity vendor copies do not fax well, therefore a copy of the original is necessary. No orders can be placed by Technology without the two copies of the purchase order. Equipment Purchase Date (EPD) Form Procedure All technology purchases must be approved using the guidelines described in the MPS Policy Book, Policy 4110, Section VI, Part 5.

Technology can then contact the user to confirm the item was ordered and has been placed within the district

5 a/c/e Laser Toner and Ink Jet Cartridge Service Moore Public Schools has contracted with a/c/e Laser, Inc. to supply our laser printer toner cartridges and inkjet printer cartridges for this school year. Cartridges will be delivered to your location based on the number and types of printers that you have. They will also recycle the empty cartridges and have placed a tub at your location to be used for storing the empty cartridges. On a rotating cycle, they will visit each school, pick up the empty cartridges, and provide you with a new/remanufactured cartridge that is the same model as the empty. At each delivery, a Bill of Lading will be left at the site. Identify what general fund or school activity budget you want charged for the items received on the Bill of Lading and fax to the Technology Center at The order can be divided and identified by multiple general fund or school activity fund budgets. Each month, we will receive one invoice from a/c/e Laser, Inc. with detail usage for each location. If you have chosen to make payment from general fund budget(s), your cartridge purchases will be charged back to your school and/or department general fund(s) as identified on the Bill of Lading. You will be notified of the amount. If you have chosen school activity fund budget(s), an invoice for your cartridge purchases will be ed to you to submit with a school activity purchase order for payment. This service is provided for your convenience and savings. If you have found it to be unsatisfactory, you are free to order from the vendor of your choice
