[Michlib-l] Device purchasing update

[Norris, Sonya (MDE)]

Hi All,

This will probably come as no surprise, but the supply chain constraints (especially related to Intel processors) are beginning to affect the availability (not just the delivery time) of some of the devices awarded on the Device Purchasing Bid. So, you will notice that some items are removed from the Device Purchasing catalog because vendors cannot even order them from the manufacturer.

If you were planning on purchasing devices that are no longer available, please contact the vendor directly as they may have other alternatives to suggest. All of the vendors awarded on the Device Purchasing contract this year are also on the REMC Computer contract. Any alternative solutions can be provided on one or the other contracts, so you will still NOT need to go out to bid for larger purchases.

If you have questions about orders you've already placed for items that have since been removed from the catalog, please contact the vendor directly.
