Surface Tablets

The State of Nevada Department of Administration Purchasing Division is seeking proposals for the procurement of surface tablets. The key requirements include that the equipment must be new, and vendors are allowed to propose equivalent brands. The State will evaluate bids based on factors such as location, quality, total cost of ownership, and delivery dates, and will award to the lowest responsible bidder. The contract term may be up to two years with possible annual extensions, and pricing must remain firm throughout the contract term. Prompt payment discounts will be considered. The solicitation is open to other third-party beneficiaries such as the Legislature, Nevada System of Higher Education, and local governments.

The State will grant a 5% preference to Nevada-based businesses. Vendors must comply with non-discrimination and occupational safety requirements, and may submit proprietary information which will be treated as confidential. The solicitation does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on types of organizations that can respond. The contract value or budget range is not specified.
