TechHub uses a product selection process that includes input from a TechHub advisory group comprised of IT directors, faculty, and staff from across campus. Our goal is to provide technology that balances quality, performance and cost-effectiveness that meets the needs of our diverse customer base. See FAQ for custom products below.

Fulfillment timelines depend on the speed of AggieBuy approvals in your department and if inventory is in stock. Inventory availability will be listed on the website. If inventory is in stock, delivery could take as little as two days.

We will fulfill the specific imaging requests of your department. Imaging preferences are finalized during the onboarding process.

All equipment that meets inventory thresholds will have an asset tag assigned and be added to your inventory in FAMIS. Once you receive and deploy the technology, you should update the specific location and verify all inventory information in Canopy/FAMIS.

Technology ordered through TechHub will be delivered to your department's designated location. We will work with each department to identify a designated location.

UINs for customers and recipients can be found in Texas A&M's Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). It is important to use the customer's UIN in the order.

The correct account number will depend on the department/unit of the recipient or customer. If you know the specific account number for the purchase, please add it in the checkout form. If you are not sure which account number to use, leave the field blank and the department allocator/approver will fill in the account number. If you are making a bulk purchase, let us know you have additional account numbers in the order comments section, and we will send you a template to add additional details.

Select the University member (ex. Texas A&M University), Division/College Unit (ex. Agriculture and Life Sciences) and then type the name of the department into the search box (ex. Nutrition). If you are unable to find the appropriate code, try different portions of the department name to narrow down the list. If in doubt, speak to your department's finance team to determine which code you should be using for TechHub purchases.

Once the cart is submitted, a requisition is created in AggieBuy. The requisition is routed to a department allocator who can update or add the appropriate account number if needed. The purchase routes through a budget check and a final department approval before converting to a Purchase Order. Once the PO is created, TechHub begins the fulfillment process and deploys the hardware to the designated location. Once received, an invoice is submitted in AggieBuy and routes through the department for approval before being paid.

No. Ordering departments cannot be changed because the AggieBuy order is submitted by TechHub on behalf of the customer. For TechHub orders in AggieBuy, the ordering department will be marked as CSCN. The ordering department can be found under Department code in the Accounting Codes section. TechHub pulls this from information entered during checkout to ensure all requisitions are routed appropriately. Department allocators can change this Department Code if needed.

Receiving an order must be completed by the unit that has submitted the purchase on the TechHub website. TechHub will not submit receipts in AggieBuy or be responsible for receiving orders. When items are delivered to IT staff a packing slip will be included with the items ordered. This packing slip should be used to complete receiving the order in AggieBuy.

Any item purchased in quantities of 10 or more is considered a bulk order. Add all technology and the needed quantities to your cart and submit your order. You will receive a template for your bulk order so you can add additional shipping or billing details.

TechHub does not accept requests for single custom items. A custom order form for ten or more custom items is available. Please review the standard offerings before placing a custom order. TechHub works to ensure our standard offerings match what most faculty and staff need. If you need custom accessories, please order those as you did before.

No. Procurement cards have transaction fees, and we are working to avoid fees and increase cost savings for departments and the university. We are integrating TechHub with AggieBuy to streamline the purchase process and will continue to improve our purchasing processes to make them quick, convenient, and efficient.
