Sale of Surplus Technology Items

The Business Services Department of Kern High School District has issued RFQP No. 02-2026 for the sale of surplus technology equipment, including various Dell models and Lenovo Chromebooks. The contract is intended for a one-year term with the possibility of four additional one-year extensions. All sales are final, and the selected vendor is responsible for all transportation and shipping costs. The District intends to award the contract to the highest respondent, though they reserve the right to consider a combination of factors, including the Grade A proposal amount, reference checks, and historical financial standing. To avoid disqualification, respondents must perform a mandatory on-site inspection at the District Warehouse in Bakersfield, California. The selected vendor must provide White Glove pickup services, which include using their own protective sleeves and master cartons, palletizing the product, and providing an itemized report of device types, models, and serial numbers. Data sanitization must meet NIST 800-88 Rev1 standards. Financial requirements include a minimum deposit of 50% on the day of pickup and payment terms no longer than NET60, with final payment due within 30 business days of quote acceptance. Proposals are due by September 30, 2026.
