TISD Staff Devices (Purchasing Cooperative Quotes)

Temple Independent School District (TISD) is seeking cooperative quotes for the procurement of 180 Lenovo ThinkPad L13 2-in-1 Gen6 laptop devices for staff use. Located in Bell County, Texas, TISD is soliciting proposals through a competitive Request for Cooperative Quote (RFQ 003-26) process. The specific devices must be configured with Intel Core Ultra 5 processors, Windows 11 Pro, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and 13.3-inch touchscreen displays. Vendors must hold current contracts with one of 15 approved purchasing cooperatives, including TASB Buyboard, OMNIA Partners, TIPS, DIR, Sourcewell, and others to be eligible for submission. The submission deadline is Friday, December 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with proposals to be submitted via the Bonfire Portal. All items must be new and not refurbished, with delivery required as an FOB Destination shipment including inside delivery and liftgate service at vendor expense.

The procurement opportunity has no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation, including pricing sheets, line-item response sheets, warranty details, and various certification forms addressing debarment, felony convictions, and conflict of interest. The district reserves the right to award to a single vendor, multiple vendors, or on a line-item basis, with the potential to renew and extend the contract for up to two additional one-year terms without recompetition. Payment terms are established as Net 30 following delivery acceptance, with Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) as the preferred payment method. While no minimum purchase quantity is guaranteed, vendors are required to quote extended warranty options for three-year and five-year coverage separately. The award is contingent upon funding availability, and vendors must be prepared to register warranties, apply for available rebates, and pass any cost savings from technology changes or promotional offers to the District.
