ICT Purchase Approval Request (ICT-PAR) Walkthrough

Submission of the ICT Procurement Approval Request (ICT-PAR) form in ServiceNow is required for all IT purchases and renewals (except for ITC on the Pre-Approved list); submit an ICT-PAR at least 30 days before the necessary in-service or renewal date for your product.

We have created a video walkthrough and a step-by-step guide to assist end-users in completing the ICT-PAR in ServiceNow. The ICT-PAR is designed to be completed by the purchase request end-user.

Before submitting an ICT-PAR, you should:

  • Recognize that accessibility is an essential requirement for your ICT product
  • Ask the vendor about their product's accessibility conformance
  • Ask the vendor for their latest VPAT or other accessibility conformance documentation and attach it to your request
  • Point vendors unfamiliar with accessibility to our vendor requirements page
  • Be prepared to find an alternative product if a vendor is unwilling to engage accessibility
