Description
Palm Beach County is seeking to pre‑qualify vendors capable of supplying, delivering, and maintaining a term‑contract inventory of computers, related hardware, and peripheral equipment for county operations. The solicitation is a pre‑qualification (RPQ) that will create a list of approved vendors who can subsequently be awarded individual purchase orders on a project‑by‑project basis. Vendors must register in the County’s Vendor Self‑Service (VSS) system, meet extensive compliance requirements (federal, state, and local regulations, non‑discrimination, debarment, drug‑free workplace, prevailing‑wage, etc.), and provide certifications, licenses, and insurance. No specific quantity or dollar value is disclosed, but the contract is intended for ongoing hardware refresh and replacement over an undefined term.
• Scope: Supply, delivery, and warranty support for desktop computers, laptops, servers, networking gear, printers, and related peripherals.
• Delivery: County‑wide, with possible site visits for large shipments.
• Contract type: Term‑contract, pre‑qualified vendor list; individual orders issued after qualification.
• Compliance: Must adhere to federal Uniform Guidance, Davis‑Bacon wage rules, drug‑free workplace, anti‑boycott certifications, and all Palm Beach County procurement policies.
• Registration: Mandatory use of the VSS portal; new vendors may submit at any time after the initial deadline.
• Deadline for initial pre‑qualification: July 8 2021, 4:00 PM.
