Dell Desktop/Monitors

This state contract opportunity is for the procurement of Dell desktop computers and monitors by the state of Illinois. The solicitation is seeking bids for the purchase of an unspecified quantity of OptiPlex Micro (7010) desktop PCs, including detailed technical specifications on the processor, operating system, memory, storage, and other features. The contract will have a fixed term, with specific due dates provided for questions, responses, and bid submission by June 23, 2023. The state has attached standard terms and conditions as well as required certifications that vendors must agree to in order to be eligible for contract award. These certifications cover a range of legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements that vendors must comply with regarding matters such as delinquent debts, environmental violations, drug-free workplaces, and political contributions.

This procurement opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not provided any information about incumbent vendors, existing technology that requires integration, or the anticipated contract value or budget range. As this is a standard commodity hardware purchase, it is likely that the state is seeking to establish a contract with one or more qualified Dell resellers or direct providers to fulfill the state's desktop computing needs on an as-needed basis.
