Process for Acquiring a New Agency Laptop Bag

Agency-issued laptop bags (shoulder bag/backpack style) are supplied to Heartland AEA staff to assist in protecting agency equipment while offering a convenient means of carrying technology and work-related materials.

New laptop bags are offered in the following instances:

• Laptop Replacement Cycle (every 4 years): A new bag will be offered to you by the Internal Technology Department when you receive a new laptop computer as a part of our 4-year replacement cycle. You will have the choice of keeping your existing bag or selecting a new bag from current bag offerings (a typical shoulder-style bag or a backpack-style bag).
• Medical Accommodation Request: If you have a medical accommodation request for a new bag style, notify your supervisor and see Juliette Houseman, Benefits Specialist, in Human Resources.
• Damaged, Lost or Stolen Bag: If you have an agency-issued bag that has damage beyond normal wear and tear and is no longer able to adequately protect agency issued technology or your bag is lost or stolen, notify your supervisor and see the Internal Technology Department for evaluation and resolution.
• Supervisor Approval: See your supervisor if you feel you have a unique situation that warrants a new laptop bag to perform your role. If approved by your supervisor, he/she will work with the Internal Technology Department to obtain a new bag for you.
