Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data set includes all laptops (excluding tablets), desktop computers, monitors and thin clients purchased via the SciQuest eCommerce tool. All televisions purchased via purchase order are also included in the sample. This sample includes the overwhelming majority of spend in these categories.
Spend on University credit cards were omitted because item-level information is not available. The data set also excludes all laptops, desktop computers, monitors and thin clients purchased via manual (i.e. not SciQuest) purchase orders. We anticipate that distribution of products in these excluded areas is consistent with the percentages seen in the sample.
