The Maryland Department of Information Technology (DOIT) is conducting a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement for desktop and laptop equipment under the 2015 Master Contract, specifically seeking 32 Dell Pro 16 Plus (PB16250) XCTO Base laptops to replace antiquated systems for a special unit. The Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) requires bidders to be authorized Dell resellers who can provide detailed equipment specifications, including a screenshot of the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Proposals must be submitted through the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) e-Procurement system by June 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM, covering multiple functional areas such as desktop/laptop hardware, tablets, installation services, and manufacturer's extended warranty. The evaluation criteria will prioritize the vendor's ability to provide requested equipment and support services, manufacturer authorization, MSRP documentation, and compliance with Mercury Affidavit requirements. The state reserves the right to purchase more or less than the specified quantity based on funding availability, and the award will be made to the most advantageous proposal considering price and evaluation factors.

The procurement is exclusively a Small Business Reserve (SBR) opportunity, which means only certified small business vendors are eligible to submit proposals. The Dell quote includes detailed laptop specifications such as an Intel Core Ultra 5 235U processor, Windows 11 Pro, 16 GB DDR5 RAM, and a 256 GB TLC SSD, with optional support services like ProSupport Plus, next business day onsite service, and accidental damage coverage. While the current quote shows $0.00 for subtotal, shipping, and estimated tax, the actual pricing will be part of the proposal evaluation. The procurement covers additional services including ProDeploy Client Device Configuration and Custom Imaging, with Dell Marketing LP as the primary vendor. Invoicing instructions require electronic submission within 10 days of equipment delivery, with specific documentation requirements including proof of delivery and equipment serial numbers. The quote is valid for thirty days, and Dell reserves the right to cancel due to potential pricing errors or other conditions.
