4K Ultra HD Business Webcams and Ethernet Patch Cables

The California Employment Development Department (EDD) is soliciting quotes for a bulk procurement of 2,375 units of technology hardware, specifically C2G 6ft Cat6a Snagless Unshielded Ethernet Patch Cables and AVerMedia PW515 4K Ultra HD Business Webcams. The Request for Quote (RFQ) Event ID 34338 requires vendors to submit comprehensive quotes to Lindsay.Ou@edd.ca.gov by 5:00 PM on March 4, 2025. Vendors must include completed Bidder Declaration and Darfur Contracting Act Certification forms with their submission. The procurement will involve delivery to 800 Capitol Mall, Room 1021 in Sacramento, CA, with an applicable tax rate of 8.75%. Specific technical requirements include a mandatory disclosure of any Generative AI technology components using the STD 1000 form, and compliance with IT General Provisions for Non-Cloud Goods and Services. Vendors must also adhere to the Target Area Contract Preference Act (TACPA) and demonstrate a commercially useful function for small business, microbusiness, and disabled veteran business enterprise participants.

The solicitation includes several set-aside and certification requirements that will impact vendor eligibility, with strong emphasis on disadvantaged business enterprises. Vendors must hold current California certifications, which may include Microbusiness, Small Business, Nonprofit Veteran Service Agency, or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) status. Additional mandatory certifications include Federal Debarment Certification, Lobbying Restrictions Certification, and compliance with the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC) requirements for product recycled content. The procurement mandates that vendors be free from federal debarment, suspension, or exclusion from federal transactions. Vendors must also comply with California Civil Rights Laws under Public Contract Code section 2010, certifying no internal policies that violate the Unruh Civil Rights Act or Fair Employment and Housing Act. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the large quantity of 2,375 units for each item suggests a substantial contract value, likely in the six-figure range, with potential for multiple vendor awards based on compliance and competitive pricing.
