Notice of Intent to Award RFP 21000000574

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management, and Budget issued RFP 21000000574 to procure Dell Desktop and Monitor Bundles for the Michigan Mobility and Client Productivity (MMCP) vendor program. The solicitation was posted in SIGMA VSS on February 28, 2020, with proposals due on March 6, 2020, and a Notice of Intent to Award was posted on January 20, 2021. The procurement seeks four distinct configuration options for OptiPlex 7080 desktop systems paired with monitors, including Small Form Factor (SFF) and Micro Form Factor (MFF) models with either 22-inch or 24-inch monitor options. Each configuration includes an Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB DDR4 memory, 512GB solid state drive, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit operating system, Dell keyboard and optical mouse, and standard software utilities such as SupportAssist, Dell Client System Update, Waves Maxx Audio, and Dell Optimizer. All systems are ENERGY STAR qualified and EPEAT 2018 registered at the Silver level and include Dell Limited Hardware Warranty with ProSupport options offering 7x24 technical support and next business day onsite service for four years. Additional services available include Keep Your Hard Drive protection, custom asset tagging, custom image loading, and customer operations project management support.

No competitive bidders submitted proposals by the March 6, 2020 deadline, resulting in Dell being recommended as the sole vendor for the desktop and monitor bundle procurement under the MMCP program. The procurement documents do not identify specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendors. No detailed pricing information, contract duration, renewal options, or total award value is specified in the available documentation, though individual system unit pricing and monitor configuration costs are itemized in the bid specification document. The award recommendation proceeded without competitive bidding, establishing Dell as the exclusive provider for these desktop and monitor bundles under the state's MMCP vendor program.
