Software Review Requirements
Any software must be reviewed by the Software Review Request (SRR). An SRR must be submitted prior to the procurement of requested software. SRR’s are then required for every contracted period of time between the University and the vendor as well as when there are any changes to the way the software will be utilized and/or who will utilize the software.
Boise State University’s Software Application Inventory
In an effort to reduce redundant software across campus, Software Review Request (SRR) maintains a list of approved software that has been reviewed for the safety and security of the University. Please refer to the University Application Inventory to determine if an existing approved software meets your department’s needs. Though software is on the list, an SRR is still required for any new or renewal procurement as indicated in the SRR webpage.
Contract Review Requirements
Additionally, all university contracts, including software contracts, are subject to state law requirements and university contracts policy and procedures governing their administration and are subject to review by the Office of the General Counsel or a university representative who has been authorized to review and negotiate contracts. Contact the Procurement Department for more details.
State Contracts
If you cannot find the software you need in these resources, The State of Idaho Department of Purchasing’s has established mandatory Statewide Contracts for software.
For help using these contracts, contact John Lim, johnlim@boisestate.edu.
