Procure ArcGIS
To procure an ArcGIS product/service, a country office would fill in a requisition form with the help of the local administrative team (see sample form). If unsure of what is needed, please contact the ESRI focal points (see above) to discuss the office needs.
If the requisition value falls below $10,000, it could then be done directly on UMOJA by the administrative focal point in-country. Similar requisition could also end up being processed by OCHA Administrative Services Branch colleagues in Geneva who will then submit the final processing/handling to United Nations Geneva Purchase and Transportation Section (UNOG PTS).
