The Information Technology Review (ITR) process is part of CSUSM’s commitment to making the resources and tools used on campus accessible, secure, and compatible with our IT infrastructure.
The ITR Process is separate from the Procurement process. More information on the Procurement process can be found at: Procurement Services site. The Procurement process can begin after review of the ITR Form by attaching the ITR Review Results, and all other supporting documents, to the purchasing requisition. Certain purchases may involve Procurement earlier in the process depending on the dollar amount. Please direct any questions regarding the Procurement process to procurementservices@csusm.edu.
In order to comply with Federal, State, CSU and CSUSM laws, regulations, policies and procedures an ITR Form is required when purchasing any Information and Computer Technology (ICT) item regardless of price. Learn about what an ICT is.

Some products may require a more comprehensive review thus taking more time to complete. It is helpful if you initiate this process as early as possible. Ideally, this process should begin at least 60 days before your anticipated purchase/renewal date.
