BMB240656 ASH Canon Support

The California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) is soliciting bids for a support and service maintenance contract for Canon graphics arts hardware, specifically focusing on ImagePress and VarioPrint models located in San Luis Obispo County and Berkeley City. The procurement involves comprehensive maintenance services for two high-output print devices: an ImagePress C910 (capable of 48,000 color and 24,000 black & white monthly clicks) and a Varioprint DP Line 115 (supporting 100,000 black & white monthly clicks). The contract duration is from November 1, 2024, through October 31, 2025, with a potential one-year extension at DSH's discretion. Key deliverables include monthly maintenance, break/fix service calls, and adherence to rigorous data security protocols that encompass encryption standards, background checks, and system security controls. The solicitation requires vendors to provide detailed maintenance support, with the proposal due date set for May 8, 2025. Vendors must also comply with extensive data protection requirements and disclose any intentions to use Generative AI technologies that could impact system functionality or contract performance.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the contract appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and security requirements. The cost table suggests a competitive informal quotation process, with current line items priced at $0.00, indicating potential flexibility in pricing negotiations. The delivery location is specified as Aaron Steinbock at 10333 El Camino Real in Atascadero, CA 93422, with a noted tax rate of 8.75% for applicable items. The pricing structure includes base charges covering original equipment manufacturer (OEM) toner and labor, with options for staple inclusion and overage rates for color and black & white printing. While precise budget ranges are not specified, the comprehensive maintenance requirements and sophisticated printing equipment suggest a potentially significant contract value. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in Canon printing systems, robust data security capabilities, and compliance with state government contract protocols.
