To provide copier based Multi-Function Devices

The City of Boston's Purchasing Agent has issued an Invitation for Sealed Bids (IFB) to procure copier-based Multi-Function Devices (MFDs) for various City departments during fiscal years 2019 and 2020. The IFB seeks proposals from interested and qualified vendors to provide the specified equipment, warranties, service, maintenance, and consumable supplies (except paper). Responses must be received by 5:00 PM on January 16, 2019, and the City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals. The contract award, subject to the Mayor's approval, will be made within 90 days of the close of the IFB. The IFB does not provide specific details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent vendors, funding requirements, or sources. It states that the award will go to the responsible and eligible vendor(s) whose proposal(s) conform to the IFB and are deemed the most advantageous to the City.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB also does not provide any information about possible award values or budget ranges.
