This set-aside is a hard eligibility gate; only authorized Dell resellers holding active master-contract status may bid.

The scope is 25 identically configured Dell Pro 16 laptops with AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 230 processors, 16 GB DDR5 memory, 512 GB SSD storage, 16-inch FHD+ anti-glare displays, Windows 11 Pro operating system, 65W USB-C power adapter, and mandatory four-year ProSupport Plus warranty with technical customer success manager support. All units must be new, unused, and EPEAT Gold certified. Functionally equivalent substitutions are not permitted; only Dell laptops are acceptable. Delivery is required to 201 W. Preston Street, Baltimore, Maryland in a single shipment by September 21, 2026; partial shipments will not be accepted.

Evaluation is based on conformance to specifications and lowest certified bidder pricing. Bidders must submit a Letter of Authorization, manufacturer's suggested retail price documentation, estimated ship dates and lead times, and Mercury Affidavits if applicable. Quoted pricing must remain valid for a minimum of 90 days following the proposal due date, and the Department will not approve cost adjustments prior to shipment due to manufacturer price increases or other circumstances.
