Laptop for Financial Reporting

Cuyahoga County issued an informal Request for Bid to acquire a laptop for financial reporting, specifying that all equipment must be new and meet the county’s IT standards. The award was granted to HP Inc., covering three line items: a HP ZBook Firefly G8 mobile workstation, a subscription to HP Absolute Data & Device Security, and a HP Care Pack hardware support service. The total contract value is modest, reflecting a single‑unit purchase plus associated software and support. • Procurement type: informal, likely sole‑source to HP for required hardware and security solutions. • Awarded items: HP ZBook Firefly G8 ($1,262), HP Absolute Data & Device Security ($64), HP Care Pack Hardware Support ($148). • All equipment must be new; refurbished units are expressly excluded.
