A Software and Services Selection Process (SSSP) request is required any time you’re purchasing one of the following software or IT services:
- Software and/or services involving HIPAA data, PHI data, critical or restricted data
- Software and/or services that are revenue generating or involved the collection of payments
- IT products that will interface or be integrated with Enterprise System applications such as those available through IUanyWare.
- IT professional services, software development, and/or software related services
Renewals of IT software and service contracts - Website services
After submitting an SSSP request, you may be asked to complete additional approval requests as part of the process. Some examples include the Third Party Assessment (3PA), an AI request form, a Product Accessibility Review (PAR), or a website request form.
Your SSSP request and any additional approvals must be approved and finalized before you enter the requisition in BUY.IU. Complete the following steps to ensure your requisition routes smoothly. Requisitions that do not follow these steps will be returned to the initiator.
Attach SSSP approval to the comments
Attach a copy of the approved SSSP request and any additional approvals to the Comments section of the requisition. Purchasing checks these approvals during their review of the order to ensure all appropriate approvals are in place.
Complete the Compliance section
The Compliance section of the requisition has several options related to software and IT services. When your order involves an SSSP request, check the box next to “Software/IT Services” and enter your RITM number in the following field. The RITM is the request number your SSSP form is assigned after you submit it.
