    What We Procure

    Four procurement tracks under one accountable partner

    Most businesses split their IT spend across three or four vendors: a hardware reseller, a software licensing portal, a leasing company, and an e-waste recycler. We consolidate all four into a single relationship with a single point of contact, a single invoice, and a single asset record.

    💻
    Track 1

    Hardware Sourcing

    Laptops, desktops, ultrabooks, monitors, servers, server racks, UPS units, firewalls, switches, wireless access points, VoIP phones, peripherals, and replacement parts. Sourced through Dell, HP, Lenovo, Cisco, Meraki, Fortinet, Aruba, and 90+ other OEMs and authorized distributors.

    📜
    Track 2

    Software Licensing

    Microsoft 365, Microsoft Copilot, Adobe Creative Cloud, security tools (Bitdefender, SentinelOne, Sophos, Malwarebytes), business apps (Intuit, Sage), virtualization (VMware, Citrix), and specialty platforms. Volume licensing, annual or monthly billing, license tracking, and renewal management included.

    💳
    Track 3

    DaaS & Leasing

    Device-as-a-Service: predictable monthly OPEX per seat instead of large CAPEX outlays. Standard 24, 36, or 48 month terms. Hardware refresh built into the contract. Available through Dell Apex, HPE GreenLake, Lenovo TruScale, and OST-managed leasing partners for SMB-sized deployments.

    Track 4

    ITAD & Retirement

    Secure end-of-life retirement: data destruction following NIST 800-88 guidelines, certificates of destruction for compliance audits, chain-of-custody documentation, and responsible recycling through R2 and e-Stewards certified partners. Optional value recovery on resaleable assets.


    OEM Network

    Sourced through 100+ OEMs and distributors

    We are not tied to a single brand. Whether the right answer for your environment is a Dell PowerEdge server, a Cisco Meraki firewall, a Microsoft Surface fleet for a mobile workforce, or a mixed Lenovo and HP refresh, we source it.

    The Procurement Lifecycle

    Six phases, one accountable partner

    Procurement is not a transaction. It is a recurring lifecycle that starts with a refresh plan and ends with a certified data wipe four to five years later. We run all six phases under one engagement so the right hand always knows what the left hand bought.

    1
    Phase 1

    Plan

    Needs assessment, refresh forecasting, budget alignment, and standardization decisions. We pull asset records from your existing inventory, age out hardware approaching warranty expiry, map software licenses to active users, and produce a 12 to 36 month procurement plan. RFP authoring is included where required by your procurement policy.

    2
    Phase 2

    Source

    Multi-OEM quoting, distribution channel optimization, and price negotiation. For a typical 50-laptop refresh we will quote across Dell, HP, and Lenovo, weigh ProSupport, Premier, and Care Pack tiers, factor in trade-in value of outgoing assets, and present a recommendation with the trade-offs explicit.

    3
    Phase 3

    Procure

    Purchase order issuance, financing or leasing setup, payment terms (Net 30 standard, custom available), and order tracking. CAPEX, OPEX, or hybrid models supported. We can transact under your existing procurement system or operate as your sole IT vendor of record. Single consolidated invoice across hardware, software, and services.

    4
    Phase 4

    Deploy

    Imaging, kitting, drop-shipping, and on-site rollout. We pre-configure devices with your gold image, join them to Microsoft Entra ID or Active Directory, install your software stack, label and inventory each unit, and ship direct-to-user or in bulk to a deployment site. White-glove rollouts available within our regional service area.

    5
    Phase 5

    Manage

    Asset tracking, software license management (SAM), warranty and support escalation, and SaaS sprawl monitoring. Every asset we ship enters our inventory system tagged to the user, the location, the warranty expiry, and the linked software entitlements. Renewal reminders surface 60 to 90 days ahead so you do not pay for licenses you no longer use.

    6
    Phase 6

    Retire

    Secure end-of-life retirement: device pickup or return shipping, data destruction following NIST 800-88 guidelines, certificates of destruction for SOC 2 and HIPAA audit trails, and recycling through R2 and e-Stewards certified partners. Resaleable hardware can flow into a value-recovery program to offset refresh costs.


    Device-as-a-Service

    Predictable monthly OPEX instead of every-3-years CAPEX shock

    A 50-laptop refresh on the buy model is a $75,000 to $120,000 capital expenditure that hits the books in a single quarter. The same refresh structured as Device-as-a-Service is a flat $35 to $70 per device per month, fully expensed, with hardware refresh built into the contract. For finance teams managing cash flow and depreciation schedules, the math is often decisive.

    When DaaS Wins
    • Hyper-growth headcount where forecasting hardware spend is hard
    • Finance prefers OPEX over CAPEX for cash flow or covenant reasons
    • You want a built-in 36 or 48 month refresh without a separate budget cycle
    • Standardized configurations across the fleet (e.g. all developers on the same SKU)
    • You do not want to manage warranty, repair, and disposition in-house
    When Buying Wins
    • You have stable headcount and predictable refresh windows
    • Available capital and a tax strategy that benefits from depreciation
    • Specialty configurations that vary substantially by user (engineers, designers, finance)
    • You already have a strong in-house IT asset management function
    • You want to retain residual value at end-of-life rather than return the device
    Programs we deliver under

    We resell and manage Dell Apex, HPE GreenLake, and Lenovo TruScale for fleets where those programs make sense. For SMB-sized rollouts that fall below those programs’ minimums, we operate our own managed leasing arrangement with third-party finance partners. Whichever path fits, the support relationship runs through us, not the OEM call center.


    IT Asset Disposition

    Documented data destruction, not a cardboard box at the curb

    A retired laptop is not a recycling problem. It is a data breach waiting to happen. The drive contains cached email, locally synced OneDrive folders, saved credentials, and customer records, and most consumer-grade wipe tools leave forensic recovery trivially possible. Our ITAD process treats every device as if it contains regulated data, because it usually does.

    Chain of custody

    Pickup or return shipping with serial-number-level intake logs. Each asset is tracked from the moment it leaves your premises through wipe, recycling, or resale. Audit-ready records are generated for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CMMC reviews.

    NIST 800-88 data destruction

    Drives are wiped to NIST Special Publication 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines using software-based purge for HDDs and cryptographic erase for SSDs. Drives that fail wipe verification are physically shredded. Each device receives a per-serial certificate of destruction.

    R2 and e-Stewards recycling

    Non-resaleable assets are routed to recycling partners certified to R2v3 and e-Stewards standards. No export to non-OECD countries, no landfill disposition, and downstream-vendor audit trails are available on request. Compliance with state e-waste laws including New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Florida is documented on every job.

    Value recovery

    Resaleable hardware (laptops under 4 years old, recent-generation servers, current-model network gear) is routed into a value-recovery program. Net proceeds are returned to your account and can be applied against the next refresh order, often offsetting 8 to 18 percent of replacement cost.


    Why OST

    What you get with us that the big-box resellers do not deliver

    The national resellers (CDW, SHI, Insight, Connection) win on raw catalog breadth and pricing leverage at enterprise scale. They struggle on accountability, response time, and integration. Here is where a focused MSP-attached procurement practice typically wins for businesses with 10 to 500 users.

    1

    A dedicated rep, not a queue

    You get a named procurement contact who knows your environment, your standards, and your refresh history. No new ticket every order. No reading the same context to a different person each call.

    2

    Same-day shipping from regional warehouses

    Our New Jersey and New York stocking locations ship same-day on in-stock items. For Northeast and Mid-Atlantic clients, that often means next-day delivery on standard configs. Big-box resellers ship from central distribution centers with longer lead times.

    3

    MSP integration on day one

    Every device we ship can land in your Managed IT stack imaged, joined, and protected. The same engineers who manage your environment also see what is in the procurement pipeline. The reseller-MSP handoff that breaks at most companies does not exist here.

    4

    No minimum order

    A single replacement laptop for a new hire gets the same response as a 200-unit refresh. Big enterprise reseller programs typically require minimum quarterly volume to keep your dedicated rep; ours does not.

    5

    US-based support, end to end

    Quoting, order management, RMA, deployment, warranty escalation, and ITAD are all handled by US-based staff. No offshore call routing for time-critical replacement orders.

    6

    One invoice, one asset record

    Hardware, software licenses, leasing, deployment labor, and ITAD on one consolidated monthly invoice. One asset register. One renewal calendar. One throat to choke when something goes wrong.



    FAQ

    IT Procurement Services FAQ

    Twelve of the questions buyers actually ask before they commit.

    What are IT procurement services?

    IT procurement services cover the sourcing, purchasing, deployment, lifecycle management, and retirement of business technology assets. That includes hardware (laptops, desktops, servers, networking, peripherals), software licenses (Microsoft 365, Adobe, security platforms, business apps), and the ancillary services that surround them: imaging and kitting, leasing, warranty management, asset tracking, and IT asset disposition. Most businesses buy these from three or four separate vendors. We consolidate the entire scope under one accountable partner with one invoice and one asset record.

    How much do IT procurement services cost?

    Hardware and software pricing is quoted per request because OEM cost varies by configuration, volume, partner program tier, and current promotion cycle. As a rough orientation, a standard business laptop with a 3-year warranty typically falls in the $1,100 to $1,800 range; a baseline business server in the $4,500 to $9,000 range; Microsoft 365 Business Premium licensing at list price as of April 2026 is around $22 per user per month. Procurement service fees themselves (sourcing, deployment labor, ITAD) are quoted by scope and are commonly bundled into a managed services agreement. Use our IT cost calculator for a quick orientation, or request a quote for actual configurations.

    What is the typical lead time for hardware?

    In-stock items from our New Jersey or New York warehouses typically ship same-day for orders placed before noon Eastern, with next-day delivery available regionally. Built-to-order hardware (configured laptops, custom server SKUs, specialty network gear) typically lands in the 5 to 15 business day range from the OEM, though this varies with current supply chain conditions and the OEM’s queue. We surface lead time on the quote so you can plan rollouts around the realistic delivery date, not the optimistic one.

    Which OEMs do you work with?

    We source through 100+ OEMs and authorized distributors. The brands clients ask about most often: Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, Samsung, and ASUS for endpoints; Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, and Lenovo ThinkSystem for servers; Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Aruba, Fortinet, SonicWall, Palo Alto, and Ubiquiti for networking and security; Microsoft, Adobe, VMware, Citrix, Sophos, SentinelOne, Bitdefender, and Malwarebytes for software. Our partner program tiers vary by product line; we will name the specific tier and program eligibility on the quote rather than make blanket claims.

    What is Device-as-a-Service and how does it differ from buying?

    Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) replaces a one-time hardware purchase with a flat per-device monthly fee, typically over a 24, 36, or 48 month term. Hardware refresh is built into the contract: at term end, devices are returned and a new generation is deployed without a separate capital event. Compared to buying, DaaS shifts hardware spend from CAPEX to OPEX, smooths cash flow, removes residual value risk, and bundles support and warranty. Compared to leasing, DaaS typically includes the management wrapper (deployment, helpdesk, ITAD) rather than just the financing. We deliver DaaS through Dell Apex, HPE GreenLake, Lenovo TruScale, and our own SMB-tier program for fleets that fall below those programs’ minimums.

    Do you handle software licensing as well as hardware?

    Yes. Software licensing is roughly half of what we procure for most clients. We handle Microsoft 365 (all SKUs including Business Basic, Standard, Premium, and Enterprise E3 and E5), Microsoft Copilot, Adobe Creative Cloud, security stacks (SentinelOne, Sophos, Bitdefender, Malwarebytes), virtualization (VMware, Citrix), backup software (Datto, Veeam), and dozens of business and specialty applications. Volume licensing programs, annual or monthly billing, license tracking, and renewal management are included. We surface unused licenses 60 to 90 days before renewal so you can true down before you pay for seats you no longer need.

    What is included in your ITAD service?

    Our IT asset disposition service includes pickup or return shipping, serial-level intake logging, data destruction following NIST Special Publication 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines (software-based purge for HDDs, cryptographic erase for SSDs, physical shredding for any drive that fails wipe verification), per-serial certificates of destruction, recycling through R2v3 and e-Stewards certified downstream partners, audit-ready chain-of-custody records, and optional value recovery on resaleable assets. State e-waste compliance is documented for jobs in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and the rest of the country.

    Do you offer financing or leasing options?

    Yes. Beyond Device-as-a-Service, we support Net 30 standard payment terms, custom terms by arrangement, OEM-direct financing programs (Dell Financial Services, HPE Financial Services, Lenovo Financial Services), and third-party leasing through specialty IT finance partners for SMB-sized rollouts. CAPEX, OPEX, and hybrid models are all supported. We will model the total cost across two or three structures on the quote so the finance call is informed.

    Can you handle nationwide deployments?

    Yes. Procurement and shipping are nationwide. Hardware ships from our New Jersey and New York warehouses to any US business address, and software licensing is delivered remotely with no geographic constraint. White-glove on-site deployment (imaging at the desk, racking servers, cabling) is delivered directly by our engineers in our regional service area covering Northern NJ, the NYC metro, Pennsylvania, and South Florida; outside that footprint, we coordinate on-site work through vetted partner networks while keeping account management and accountability with our team.

    Can you write RFPs or respond to ours?

    Both. For internal procurement teams that issue RFPs to multiple vendors, we participate as a respondent and can answer security, compliance, and SLA questionnaires (SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST 800-171, CMMC where applicable). For businesses that want to formalize a vendor selection process for the first time, we will author the RFP itself: scope definition, requirements matrix, evaluation rubric, and the boilerplate sections that procurement consultants typically charge a flat fee to produce.

    What is your minimum order size?

    There is no minimum. A single replacement laptop for a new hire is welcome and gets the same dedicated rep as a 200-unit refresh. Most national resellers require minimum quarterly volume to keep your dedicated account manager engaged; ours does not. The trade-off is that we do not always beat the absolute lowest price a CDW or SHI can pull on a 5,000-unit deal, where their volume leverage exceeds ours.

    How does procurement integrate with your other managed services?

    Tightly. The same engineering team that runs your Managed IT, Managed Cybersecurity, and Managed Cloud Infrastructure services also sees what is in the procurement pipeline. New devices arrive imaged with your gold image, joined to your Microsoft Entra ID or Active Directory tenant, registered in your endpoint management platform, and protected by your EDR before they land on a user’s desk. Software licenses procured through us are reflected in the same asset register that tracks the hardware. The reseller-MSP handoff that breaks at most companies (where a CDW order arrives, then sits unimaged for three days while IT catches up) does not exist on this stack.
