Hardware - ricoh FI-8930 document scanner - brand only

The State of California is requesting bids for Ricoh FI-8930 document scanners on a brand-only basis under RFB-IS-26200997, with bids due June 11, 2026. No substitute brands or equivalent models are permitted — this is a single-source specification that restricts competition to authorized Ricoh dealers and resellers.

A Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form is required as part of bid submission, suggesting CBE set-asides or preferences may apply under California procurement regulations. Bidders must complete all forms specified in Appendix A and submit CBE certification documentation to be considered responsive.

The solicitation allows access through the California Universities Foundation (CUF) cooperative purchasing program, which enables participating California public agencies to reference pre-negotiated contracts rather than conduct independent competitive procurements. CUF pricing and terms apply if the awardee holds a valid CUF contract for this equipment.

Technical specifications for the Ricoh FI-8930 establish mandatory performance standards including scanning speed, image quality, document handling capacity, connectivity, and compatibility requirements. All bids must demonstrate compliance with stated technical parameters.

The RFB document, technical specification, required purchasing forms, CBE certification form, and CUF program brochure are attached. Questions due date, estimated contract value, contract term, delivery timeline, warranty provisions, and quantity are not specified in the posted materials.
