This is an Amendment to a Request for Bid (RFB-IS-26200885) issued by the State of California Department of Assets and Records (DAR) Cashier division for brand-specific Epson printer and check scanner equipment. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to supply specified Epson printer and scanner models required for cashier operations, with competition limited exclusively to Epson brand products to ensure system compatibility with existing DAR infrastructure. The procurement identifies specific technical specifications and quantities for equipment needed along with delivery requirements. The RFB was posted on May 5, 2026, with a response deadline of May 25, 2026. The state anticipates awarding the contract for an initial term with potential renewal options exercisable at the state's discretion to support ongoing cashier and financial processing operations.

Interested vendors must submit detailed cost proposals covering equipment pricing and associated delivery or installation services. The solicitation carries no small business set-asides or socioeconomic preferences due to its brand-specific nature, meaning any qualified vendor capable of supplying authentic Epson equipment may respond regardless of business classification. Evaluation criteria include pricing competitiveness, product availability, and vendor qualifications. Incumbent vendor information is not specified in the available documentation. The procurement is designed to integrate with existing DAR systems and cashier infrastructure, requiring full compatibility with current operational environments. Funding derives from the State of California's operational budget allocated to the DAR division, though specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation.
