Digital PRESS Lease Services

The Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) is seeking bids for the lease of a multi-functional digital color production press to support its printing and production needs. The lease term is for one year with four optional one-year renewal periods. TSD requires the selected vendor to provide full-service maintenance and respond to maintenance requests within 24 hours as part of the lease agreement. The vendor must also provide training for TSD's system administrators and IT staff on the operation and troubleshooting of the equipment. The IFB specifies detailed technical requirements for the digital press, including print speeds, paper handling, finishing options, and color management capabilities. Vendors must provide pricing for the monthly lease, cost per color print, cost per black and white print, and the cost to move the press after initial installation. Bids are due by 3:00 PM on June 20, 2024, and TSD reserves the right to make the award based on the best value to the state, which may include factors beyond just the low bid.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. TSD has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the procurement does not indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. While the IFB does not specify a budget range, TSD reserves the right to alter quantities prior to award based on bid responses and budget constraints, and will only pay for actual goods received.
