Exhibit_4_-_Minimum_Technical_Requirements.xlsx

This is a Minimum Technical Requirements exhibit from the California Department of General Services for a statewide contract opportunity to provide tablets and 2-in-1 devices to the State of California and participating local governmental agencies. The solicitation establishes specifications for four product categories: standard tablets, rugged tablets, standard 2-in-1 devices, and rugged 2-in-1 devices. All categories require a minimum 7-inch touch screen display, dual-core or better processors, and 4 GB of RAM. Standard tablets require 32 GB of storage memory, while rugged tablets, standard 2-in-1 devices, and rugged 2-in-1 devices require 64 GB. Operating system options include iOS, Windows 10 or later, or Android depending on device type. All devices must feature batteries with capacity exceeding 23 watt-hours, 802.11 ac/ax Wi-Fi connectivity, and Bluetooth 5.0 technology.

Additional technical requirements differentiate the device categories through environmental durability standards and sustainability certifications. Rugged tablets and rugged 2-in-1 devices must comply with MIL-STD-810G military standards and maintain IP65 ingress protection ratings. All devices must meet EPEAT environmental certification standards, with standard tablets and standard 2-in-1 devices requiring Gold (1.0) or Bronze (2.0) certification, while rugged variants require Bronze (1.0 or 2.0) certification, verified at the EPEAT Registry. The 2-in-1 devices are specified to ship with keyboards as standard equipment. These minimum technical requirements establish the baseline specifications that vendor proposals must meet to be considered responsive to the state's procurement needs.
