In July 2023, Procurement introduced an exception review process in HuskyBuy to ensure that purchases of software using the ProCard were reviewed by Procurement and IT Security.

To further improve efficiency and transparency, effective immediately, a newly designed software pre-review process will now occur in Kuali Build instead of HuskyBuy.

What’s Changing?

• The Kuali Build form replaces the HuskyBuy ProCard exception form for software and cloud service purchases.
• This process applies only when:
  • The supplier will not/refuses to register in HuskyBuy and/or
  • The supplier will not/refuses to accept a UConn Purchase Order.
• The standard process for purchasing software and cloud services remains through the Software and IT Service non-catalog requisition form in HuskyBuy, unless the above exceptions apply.

Benefits of the New Process

• Using Kuali Build streamlines the lengthy review process that previously existed in HuskyBuy, reducing delays.
• The new form improves communication with distributed IT units supporting various departments by informing them of purchasing activity.
• The new form requires primary software users to review and attest to understanding UConn IT policies, ensuring compliance and awareness.
