Apple iPad Mini and RAM Mounts Mounting Hardware

The Orange County Transportation Authority is seeking bids from authorized resellers to supply Apple iPad Mini devices and RAM Mounts mounting hardware under a blanket purchase order with a twelve-month term, with no guaranteed minimum or maximum usage. The total estimated contract value is $296,222, and award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with cost being the sole evaluation factor at 100% weight. All items must be new, of recent manufacture, and free from defects in material and workmanship, conforming to the contract’s specifications and warranty terms. Delivery is F.O.B. origin to the Irvine Construction Circle Base in Irvine, California, with final inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination by the Authority. The contract requires strict adherence to packaging standards, including sequential container numbering, dual packing slips on the first container, and proper labeling with the purchase order and part numbers. The solicitation, issued as 250373 on May 18, 2026, with a submission deadline of May 28, 2026, mandates electronic bidding via the OpenGov Procurement portal and prohibits any pre-contractual expenses from being included in pricing. Bidders must comply with prevailing wage laws under the Davis-Bacon Act and California Labor Code, maintain records for four years after final payment, and are subject to audit. No subcontracting or assignment is permitted without prior written consent. The Authority requires DBE participation and mandates full documentation for any claims of disadvantaged business enterprise status, including ownership and net worth verification. All warranties, including a 36-month term for devices and hardware, survive inspection, delivery, and final payment. An indemnification clause is included, and the contractor assumes liability for excess reprocurement costs in the event of default. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price blanket purchase order without option periods, and all pricing details in the line-item table are estimates used for evaluation only.
