This file is a brochure document related to a State of California hardware procurement solicitation (RFB-IS-26200996) for a 36-inch blueprint multi-function printer. The solicitation seeks one unit capable of handling large-format printing and copying functions to support state operations. The request for bids was issued with a submission deadline of June 11, 2026. All bidders must complete the required forms specified in Appendix A and comply with technical specifications for high-capacity large-format document production, including print quality, speed, resolution, and paper handling capacity. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the best value to the state.

The solicitation requires submission of a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form as part of the bid submission process, indicating a CBE eligibility or participation component, though the specific requirement level is not detailed in the available materials. The procurement utilizes the California Uniform Procurement System (CUF) cooperative purchasing framework, which enables California public agencies to access pre-negotiated contracts and pre-vetted vendors at competitively bid pricing. This cooperative vehicle streamlines procurement and reduces individual-agency administrative burden. Contract funding will be provided through appropriate state budget allocation and departmental appropriations for equipment purchases and capital improvements.
