What is it?

The Department of Innovation & Performance is responsible for ordering, staging, and installing new computer equipment on behalf of all City departments. While I&P provides guidance to ordering departments about equipment purchases, departments have wide latitude in what devices are selected and ordered. As a result, orders are individually quoted by current contracted vendors. The back and forth with users to define requirements and the communication with the vendor to obtain an accurate quote adds administrative time to the overall ordering and fulfillment process that does not add value.

What do I need?

You will need the following documents to bid on this opportunity:

  • Insurance certificate
    A document from the bidder's insurer, which is used to prove the bidder can cover project liabilities. The City of Pittsburgh must be named as "additionally insured" and the certificate must be valid through the term of the contract.
