Lenovo - CCPP XVI

The State of California is requesting bids for Lenovo products and services under the California Cooperative Purchasing Program (CCPP) XVI framework agreement, with bids due August 20, 2026. This is a statewide cooperative purchasing vehicle that enables California state agencies and authorized public entities to procure Lenovo computing equipment, peripherals, and IT solutions at negotiated rates.

The solicitation establishes pricing and terms for Lenovo hardware and associated services available through the cooperative purchasing agreement. Bidders must submit technical specifications and cost sheets detailing product configurations and pricing structures by product category. A required form and certified business enterprise (CBE) documentation are mandatory attachments; the CBE attachment indicates that California's disadvantaged business enterprise, small business, or other certified business categories may receive contract preferences or set-asides, though specific participation percentages or set-aside thresholds are not detailed in the available summaries.

The framework agreement streamlines procurement for participating agencies while maintaining compliance with California's public procurement regulations. Individual purchases under the agreement are funded through each agency's respective budget and appropriations at the time of purchase order placement, rather than through a single contract value or term commitment. The cooperative structure allows smaller entities to access enterprise pricing typically available only to larger purchasers.

Evaluation will be based on competitive pricing, volume discounts, and service terms that meet or exceed California's requirements for technology acquisitions. Specific technical specifications, quantities, and delivery schedules are contained in the attached technical specifications and cost sheet document.
