Panasonic Toughbooks and Accessories

Contract MA260000006399 is an award between the State of Alabama and Panasonic Connect North America for the procurement of Panasonic-branded Toughbooks and accessories. This agreement is established as a Participating Addendum to the NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement 23019, originally led by the State of Minnesota. The contract enables state agencies, cities, counties, schools, and universities within Alabama to purchase fully rugged, semi-rugged, and tablet computing devices, as well as related peripherals, while specifically excluding Android-based products. The contract utilizes a reseller model where authorized entities must obtain quotes showing both list and discounted prices. Pricing is governed by a structured price schedule featuring specific discount bands, such as 16 percent for fully rugged Toughbooks, 13 percent for semi-rugged devices, and 12 percent for tablets. Key terms prohibit the charging of freight fees and require adherence to the baseline price list maintained on the contractor's dedicated NASPO ValuePoint website. The agreement is valid for one calendar year with options for renewal, ensuring a streamlined procurement process for durable computing equipment across Alabama's governmental and educational sectors.
