Dell - CCPP XVI

The State of California is requesting bids on Dell products and services under the Cooperative Computer Procurement XVI (CCPP XVI) framework, RFB-IS-27200021, with bids due August 20, 2026. This is a cooperative purchasing vehicle that establishes pre-negotiated pricing for Dell hardware, software, and IT equipment available to California state agencies, counties, cities, schools, and other authorized public entities.

The scope encompasses approved Dell product categories including desktops, laptops, workstations, servers, peripheral devices, and software licensing options. Specific configurations and quantities are detailed in Attachment 1 (Technical Specifications and Cost Sheet). Approved product categories and configurations are listed in Attachment 3 (Appendix A), which serves as the reference for eligible hardware systems and pricing structures available under the agreement.

A Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) compliance attachment is included; specific participation requirements or set-aside percentages are detailed in Attachment 4. Bidders must submit the required form (Attachment 2) as a mandatory gatekeeping document for bid acceptance.

This cooperative purchasing structure allows participating public entities to procure Dell products at negotiated rates without conducting individual competitive solicitations, reducing administrative burden and procurement timelines. Each entity manages its own funding and usage based on its procurement needs within the framework established by the statewide cooperative agreement. The contract provides centralized pricing while enabling distributed purchasing decisions across California's government sector.
