This is a website homepage for the State of Maryland's Department of Information Technology describing the Hardware and Associated Equipment and Services (HW) 2012 statewide master contract vehicle. The contract, awarded on October 31, 2012, and approved on the BPW agenda on November 14, 2012, establishes a procurement framework for six functional areas: Servers and Associated Peripherals, Printers and Associated Peripherals, Network Communications Equipment, Installation and Training Services, Manufacturer's Extended Warranty, and Security Cameras and Associated Peripherals. The contract term runs from June 22, 2016, through November 14, 2027, with BPO Number 060B2490022. The contract specifically excludes certain items such as desktops, laptops, ruggedized computers, monitors, and printer cartridges from procurement under this vehicle, directing agencies to alternative state contracts for these items.

Functional Area IV covering Installation and Training Services requires offerors to also propose corresponding equipment in Functional Areas I, II, or III, with installation and training services not to exceed 49% of the total PORFP value and not available for standalone purchase. Manufacturer's Extended Warranty services under Functional Area V may be purchased in conjunction with or separately from other functional areas at any time and must be provided only by Master Contractors authorized by the manufacturer or distributor. All warranty periods commence only upon acceptance of equipment or services by the requesting agency, with defective items replaced at no additional cost to the State. The contract serves as a statewide procurement vehicle enabling Maryland agencies to source hardware and related services through pre-negotiated terms with qualified vendors.
