Attachment_G-Black___White_Tech_Specs-Final.xlsx

This technical specifications document is an attachment to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the State of Minnesota for Multifunction Devices (MFDs) to establish contractual relationships with qualified manufacturers for equipment purchase, rental, and maintenance serving state agencies and members of the State's Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV) program. The RFP solicits proposals across six black and white device segments, with Segment 1 being optional. Segment specifications progress from entry-level devices with 15 copies per minute (ppm) to high-volume systems at 70 ppm, with increasing feature requirements and paper handling capacity as speed increases. All segments require 600 dpi resolution for copying, printing, and scanning; PCL6 and PostScript print languages; automatic duplexing; touch-screen displays (required for Segments 2-6); and integrated ethernet connectivity. Responders must complete tabs BW2 through BW6, with optional completion of BW1 if proposing Segment 1 products, and must match proposed model numbers and SKUs between this technical specifications attachment and pricing documentation submitted in Attachment F-1.

Segments 2 through 6 require substantially more advanced features than Segment 1, including four 500-sheet paper trays, required finishers or bridge/finishers with specified staplers, private print functionality, scan-to-email capability, and hard drive storage with minimum 120 GB capacity and encryption/overwrite security. All segments require automatic document feeders, copy auditing with specified account numbers, and capability to add integrated fax boards as optional equipment. Each proposed device must include a 90-day warranty and comply with all specified requirements before responses can be accepted through the SWIFT Vendor Portal; late responses will not be accepted. Responders must provide statewide distribution and service capabilities for the equipment.
