Approved Software Directory

Search approved software, compare data-use boundaries, and identify reviewed tools for university work.

This directory records ITS security and accessibility approval; it does not grant purchasing authority or confirm contract status. Software may be purchased by P-Card only with advance approval, and purchases over $20,000 generally require competitive bidding. Review Procurement rules before committing funds.

ITS approval and Procurement approval are separate

ITS approval records the security and accessibility review represented in this directory. It does not authorize a purchase, confirm an active contract, or replace Procurement review. Procurement status is shown only when it has been explicitly recorded in the master data.
