USB Flash Drives (IT989-21)

Marion County's Information Technology Department is seeking quotes for USB flash drives through Request for Quote (RFQ) IT989-21, with responses due by 2:00 PM PST on August 27, 2021. The procurement seeks various USB flash drive capacities including 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, with specific technical requirements such as USB version compatibility and industry certifications. Vendors must provide detailed pricing for flash drives, with options for custom branding and slim form factor features. The County reserves the right to purchase from a single or multiple vendors based on price and ability to meet technical specifications. Evaluation criteria will include pricing, technical compliance, product specifications, and overall responsiveness to the RFQ requirements. The contract term is set for one year, with potential extensions up to three years contingent on funding availability. Vendors are permitted to offer alternate or equivalent products for County review.

The RFQ does not explicitly indicate set-aside designations or restrictions for specific enterprise types. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement appears open to any qualified vendor capable of meeting the technical specifications and delivering the required USB flash drive quantities. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the County's approach suggests flexibility in vendor selection and potential volume-based pricing. Shipping and handling costs must be included in the quoted prices, and vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive pricing that includes both standard and optional features. The contract will be administered through Marion County's standard contract terms and conditions, with the potential for multiple vendor awards based on the County's assessment of best value and meeting operational needs.
