Eshc 2026

The state and local contract opportunity, identified as ESHC 2026, is an IT hardware procurement initiative by the Maryland Department of Health's Office of Enterprise Technology, spanning Dorchester County and Capitol Heights Town. The primary procurement involves the acquisition of 10 Dell Pro Micro Desktop computers with specific technical specifications, including an AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE processor, 16 GB DDR5 memory, 512GB SSD storage, and Windows 11 Pro operating system. The computers must meet ENERGY STAR and EPEAT 2018 Gold environmental standards and include a 5-year ProSupport Plus hardware support service. The solicitation was posted on October 2, 2025, with proposals due by October 13, 2025, indicating a relatively tight submission window of approximately 11 days. Key deliverables include the desktop computers, accompanying accessories like a 90W A/C adapter, internal speakers, and optional software including a 30-day Microsoft 365 trial. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a focus on meeting precise hardware and performance requirements.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly indicate set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises based on the provided documentation. The procurement is specifically for the Eastern Shore Hospital Center located in Cambridge, Maryland, with direct shipping to their facility. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available information. The total procurement value appears to be limited to the 10 desktop computer units, which would likely represent a moderate-scale technology refresh or expansion project. The specification's detailed technical requirements, including specific product codes and SKU numbers, suggest a precise procurement approach that leaves little room for vendor deviation from the prescribed technical specifications. While a precise budget range is not specified, the procurement appears to be a targeted, specific acquisition focused on standardized IT hardware deployment for the Maryland Department of Health's technological infrastructure.
