HP Laptops for Education

Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas is seeking cooperative quotes for the procurement of HP Laptops for Education through a competitive solicitation (Co-Op Quote 2025-144). The procurement targets six specific HP laptop and workstation models, each accompanied by a 5-year HP CarePack warranty, with vendors required to have current contracts from approved purchasing cooperatives such as Choice Partners, E & I, and various Education Service Center regions. The quote is due on November 10, 2025, at 4:00 PM Central Time, with the resulting contract valid for one year and potential renewals for two additional one-year periods. Ordering will commence after award and continue through December 31, 2026, allowing spot purchases across EliteBook, ProBook, and ZBook laptop lines with specific part number requirements. NISD reserves the right to award items to a single vendor, multiple suppliers, or on a line-item basis, with an emphasis on best value. All submitted items must be new and not refurbished, and vendors must provide comprehensive details about product availability, manufacturer warranties, exchange policies, and service terms.

Participation in this procurement is strictly limited to vendors holding current contracts with specific purchasing cooperatives, including but not limited to Choice Partners, E & I, Education Service Center regions 4, 8, 10, 19, and 20, as well as OMNIA Partners, Sourcewell, and the Texas Department of Information Resources. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the multi-cooperative approach potentially creates opportunities for diverse vendors. The solicitation does not provide a precise budget range or total award value, but it suggests the potential for significant technology procurement across multiple HP laptop models. The competitive process allows NISD flexibility in vendor selection, potentially enabling them to optimize cost, technical specifications, and service capabilities. The procurement's structure, requiring vendors to have pre-existing cooperative contracts, streamlines the acquisition process and ensures vendors meet certain predetermined qualifications and pricing standards.
