New Hardware Agreement Review

UMBC Technology Center Main Seminar Room

9:30 to 11:30 AM


Please RSVP no later than noon Wednesday, July 11, 2012.

Please join MEEC and Blair Blankinship, UB, Procurement Officer for an orientation session on the new MEEC Hardware Agreement. MEEC members will find that these contracts provide a larger number of vendors (26), a wider range of products, along with a greater variety of hardware categories than in previous contracts. The RFP provided for a more competitive pricing response for each hardware category and by manufacturer within each category. While this adds some complexity to the final results, that complexity is balanced against a significant gain in economic benefit to MEEC members.

Note the vendor list at the bottom of this announcement. *Once contracts* are fully executed with each vendor, the contract remains in effect through March 15, 2014. The contracts may be renewed for up to three 12 month option periods. Contracts were awarded through a competitive proposal process, following the USM procurement policies and procedures. Approval was granted by the Board of Regents

*To date not all vendors have a fully executed contract.
