The electronics purchasing policy, directive, or guidelines :
All Technical Specifications are mandatory. The Bidder shall meet the requirements detailed by the State in each section. Failure to comply with a mandatory requirement will disqualify the Bid from further consideration under this procurement, unless all Bidders are unable to comply. A non-response or checking the “No” box will represent the Bidder’s inability to comply with the mandatory requirement, and the Bid will be disqualified.
6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL
6.2.1 Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) is an environmental procurement tool designed to help institutional purchasers in the public and private sectors evaluate, compare, and select desktop computers, laptops and monitors based on the environmental attributes of the product. General information on the criteria of EPEAT can be found at http://www.epeat.net.
Each Minimum Baseline Standard Configuration states the minimum EPEAT certification required in this RFB. Bidder shall provide verification of EPEAT certification at the required level, upon request.
6.2.2 The State is committed to energy saving and environmentally friendly devices. Energy efficient and environmentally friendly devices shall be included in the product offering. Bidder shall be responsible for identifying, emphasizing, and providing energy efficient devices in the products covered in this RFB.
For example:
•Equipment shall meet applicable Energy Star standards.
•Monitor screens shall not emit electrostatic and electromagnetic radiation.
•All products capable of meeting Energy Star low-power enabled features shall be shipped with the Energy Star low-power feature activated or enabled unless otherwise agreed upon by the State.
•Products shipped without the Energy Star seal affixed to the product shall include the manufacturer’s certification specifying that such products are Energy Star compliant.
