Sale of iPad Devices

Rochester Public Schools (RPS), Independent School District No. 535, located in Olmsted County, Minnesota, is soliciting quotes for the purchase of approximately 1,300 surplus Apple iPad 7th Generation devices (Model A2197, MW742LL) in Space Gray with 32GB storage and WiFi connectivity. These decommissioned units were previously used in district educational programs and have been maintained in protective STM cases, though 10-20% lack cases and may show varying degrees of wear with no known broken or cracked screens. All devices will be factory reset and removed from RPS's management system prior to pickup. Vendors must purchase all devices as a single lot on a lump sum basis and submit quotes via the Euna Procurement platform by 2:00 PM on Friday, April 10, 2026. Qualified vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience purchasing used technology items, provide references from other school districts or public entities, and assume all responsibility for packing labor, materials, and shipping costs from RPS's Technology Support Services Center located at 3018 40th Avenue NW, Rochester, Minnesota 55901. Vendors must also provide a data destruction guarantee with a certificate of data wipe compliance and obtain a Certificate of Insurance. Award determination will be made by the Director of Technology following evaluation of vendor qualifications, with pickup required within 60 days of award notification and only after payment is received as a single check.

No set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are specified in the procurement documents. There are no identified incumbent vendors or current contractors listed for this transaction. Vendors may submit separate pricing options with and without chargers and cables to provide flexibility in their quotes. All vendors must complete the Vendor Qualification Form, Non-Collusion Affidavit, and W-9 form as part of their submission requirements. Proposals may not be withdrawn for 60 days following the quote opening date, and failure to remit payment by the pickup date results in forfeiture of the award with potential reassignment to the next highest vendor. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the RFQ documents, as pricing will be determined through vendor competition based on submitted quotes.
