- Note you can put multiple items and multiple configurations on a single e-quote, but please list each separate item on your ISU requisition. If there is more than one e-quote for a requisition please indicate e-quote number for each line item.
- In the Printed Comments Field, detail your requisition with "TechZone Mass Purchase" and then the e-quote number(s).
- Detail the computer or peripheral & ISU Mass Purchase Price (in that order) with your desired quantity for each item in your hardcopy requisition or electronic Datatal entry. This should match your e-quote(s).
