HARDWARE - 36 Blueprint Multi-Function Printer

The State of California is requesting bids on a 36-inch blueprint multi-function printer (RFB-IS-26200996) with bids due June 11, 2026. The solicitation seeks one unit capable of handling large-format printing and copying functions. A Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form is required as part of bid submission, indicating a CBE eligibility or participation component, though the specific requirement — whether set-aside, preference, or documentation only — is not detailed in the source materials.

The equipment must meet technical specifications for high-capacity large-format document production, including print quality, speed, resolution, paper handling capacity, and system integration with existing state infrastructure. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with all outlined technical parameters and confirm that proposed equipment meets or exceeds specified performance thresholds.

The solicitation materials reference the California Uniform Procurement System (CUF) cooperative purchasing framework, which enables California public agencies to access pre-negotiated contracts and pre-vetted vendors at competitively bid pricing. This cooperative vehicle streamlines procurement and reduces individual-agency administrative burden.

Bidders must complete all required forms specified in Appendix A and submit responses by the June 11 deadline. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the best value to the state. The contract will be funded through appropriate state budget allocation and departmental appropriations for equipment purchases and capital improvements.
