REQUESTED ACTION
Authorize the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to enter into a contract with HP inc. (VC#177852), Palo Alto, CA, in an amount up to and not to exceed $3,536,000 for computer equipment, peripherals & related ser\'ices through a Participating Agreement (PA) with the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) Value Point Master Agreement #2301 1, with the option to renew for up to an additional two years effective upon Governor and Executive Council approval through June 30, 2025.
Funding shall be provided through individual agency expenditures, none of which shall be permitted unless there are sufficient appropriated funds to cover the expenditure.
EXPLANATION
The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) reviewed and negotiated in collaboration with the Department of Justice (DOJ) for this requested State of New Hampshire participating agreement. This participating agreement is aligned with the master agreement set in place by NASPO and the lead state, Minnesota, through the cpmpetitive bidding process, sourcing vendors through the NASPO sourcing platform.
The State of Minnesota in partnership with NASPO ValuePoint has awarded cooperative Master Agreements for computer equipment, peripherals & related sendees. The Master Agreements allow participating entities that include but are not limited to states and local governments, to purchase computer hardware and associated accessories and services from competitively bid and awarded computer hardware manufacturers. Portfolio product offerings include Windows and non-Windows desktops, laptops and tablets, and senders and storage devices. This participating agreement is aligned with the master agreement set in place by NASPO and the lead stale, Minnesota, through the competitive bidding process for RFP 29720, which received a total of 28 proposals and awarded contracts to 23 suppliers. Originally awarded September 7, 2023, this Master Agreement expires June 30, 2025, with the possibility of a 3-year renewal until June 30, 2028. The DAS has already received Governor & Executive Council
His Excellency, Governor Christopher T. Sununu and the Honorable Council

approval to contract through the Dell NASPO MA for the Computer Equipment, Peripherals & Related Services, Item #127, dated October 18, 2023, and is requesting State of New Hampshire participation through this PA for HP Inc, as well as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, Pure Storage, and Apple Inc.
The State of New Hampshire's current PA for NASPO ValuePoint HP Brand computer equipment, peripherals & related services MNNVP-133 expires on January 31, 2024. The requested contract resulting from this PA will provide substantial cost savings for all State agencies, NH universities, municipalities, and other authorized entities. Direct contracts with brand computer resellers were considered, request for information (RFl) results show that direct contracts could not leverage the multislate buying power with increased cost savings that the NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreements provide. The NASPO Participating Agreements will empower agencies to take advantage of discounts per unit as well as cost savings for bulk orders. To further confirm best pricing for agencies, request for quotes (RFQ's) will be issued to all resellers for each purchase under this requested contract.
The Bureau of Purchase and Property, in collaboration with the Department of Information Technology, issued a request for information (RFl) 2024-368 on July 21, 2023, with responses due on August 07, 2023. This RFl reached 318 vendors through the NIGP electronic sourcing platform with an additional 9 directly sourced. 4 informational responses were received. Upon review of the submissions, it was determined that NASPO pricing would provide the State of New Hampshire with the best pricing in regards to the state's annual HP Computer needs.
While there is no recorded spend for the current NASPO HP PA and statewide contract for the prior fiscal year, DolT is now planning on adding HP products to the IT Standards listing. The Department of Health and Human Services and the Liquor Commission DolT agency technicians report anticipated near future HP purchases for ongoing IT projects already in process. DolT Bureau of Finance and Administration has calculated proposed yearly spend for HP Products to be $1,600,000. Accounting for inflation and overall market price fluctuations, as well as advances in technology requirements, a 2-year contract term is requested at $3,536,000. With the average NASPO applied discount of 20%, the State forecasts to save approximately $707,200 over the 2 year contract term.

VENDOR RESPONSES:
A total of 28 proposals were received, and of those proposals, 24 suppliers were recommended for award across the 3 Bands
based on responsiveness and final rankings against the pre-established evaluation criteria. One awardee rescinded its proposal and will not be awarded for a final total of 23
awarded suppliers.
EVALUATION INFO:
Virtual evaluations were led by the Lead State of Minnesota. The evaluation was completed by the Sourcing Team on 12/17/2021.
Responses were evaluated based on the following Evaluation Criteria:
The Sourcing Team evaluated proposals in multiple phases and steps. The evaluation criteria for each phase . and scoring step were as follows: , "
• Phase 1: Responsiveness (pass/fail). Each proposal was reviewed for responsiveness to determine if the responder satisfied all mandatory requirements. The Lead State evaluated the requirements on a pass/fail basis. , '
• Phase 2: Evaluate Responses. ' . '
• Step 1: Weighted scoring of the technical criteria - Product Deployment and Ability to Perform
i ' • Step 2: Responders were shortlisted for each Band based on the scores awarded in Step 1 and the ! ability of responders selected for the shortlist to meet the needs of anticipated Participating 1 ■ Entities. Responders with a Step 1 totalscore of at least 60% of the highest-scoring Responder j advanced to Step 3, at which time scores were reset to 0. ^ .
I' . • Step 3: Weighted scoring of the criteria ; Accessibility, Environmental, Business Capabilities, r Customer Support, and Cost Proposal. Responders with a Step 3 total score of.at least 50% of the I highest-scoring Responder are being recommended for a contract award. i Cost made up 40% of the points possible in Phase 2 Step 3 and was evaluated using a market basket composed ( of multiple standard device configurations. Cost scores for each Band and device configuration were based oh ' the responder's cost relative to the lowest-cost responder and the extent to which devices offered by the responder matched the provided standards. Responders offering devices partially matching the standard
I device configurations were given a cost score equal to the lowest score for each configuration. Responders. i offering devices that did not match the standard device configurations were given a cost score of 0. \
j Three proposed awardees in Band 2 offer specialized devices (e.g., Chromebooks and ruggedized tablets) that \ did not match the standard device configurations in the market basket and therefore received a cost score of 0. However, each responder scored strongly in the technical evaluation and earned enough points to meet the established threshold for contract award. All proposed awardees were required to submit complete pricing catalogs and minimum category discounts to the Lead State. Regardless of cost score, any device offered by a Responder for which pricing is found to be unreasonable, not best-value, or riot in the best interest of the Lead State or Participating Entities may be rejected by the Lead State.and excluded from the responder's Master Agreement.

Master Agreement: 23011
Contractor Name: HP Inc.
All Awarded Bands
Optional: Lease Rates ' •tr'
Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company offers the following lease options: (1) Fair Market Value/True Lease; (2) Tax
Exempt Tech Refresh; and (3) Tax Exempt Installment Sale (Lease Purchase).
Lease are provided on the PSS. Rates may be subject to change quarterly.
Fair Market Value/True Lease:
For customers that want to lower their cost of using the equipment and retain maximum flexibility at the end of the
lease, Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company offers a fair market value lease (also known as a true lease). This "pay-
as-you-go" structure helps you stretch your budget dollars to get the technology you need today. At the end of the lease
term, you have several options: 1) return the equipment without penalty; 2) renew the lease for a specified renewal term
at a negotiated lease payment amount; 3) purchase the equipment at its then fair market value; or 4) extend the original
term and continue to make the same periodic lease payments until you are ready to exercise one of the three previously
listed options. This plan may help customers avoid technology obsolescence and asset disposition costs.
Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company does allow customers to enter into a month-to-month extension at the end
of each lease agreement if they find it necessary to maintain their existing leased equipment for longer than the original
lease timeframe. Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company also has a package and shipping service that can be
incorporated into the lease contract upfront for returns of equipment at lease end. This service can be very valuable
when budgeting for your technology costs.
Tax Exempt Tech Refresh:
Tech Refresh is structured as a Tax-Exempt Installment Sale with an option on the last payment to return the equipment
(and acquire new) or make the payment and own the equipment outright. The standard offer calls for payments to be
made annually in advance, though additional structures may be tailored to accommodate budget restrictions. The final
(or option) payment is a set amount of the original purchase price of the equipment and is an estimate of the wholesale
value of the equipment at the time of the option. The balance of the cost is amortized over the term. The benefit is that
an entity is not locked into any one particular deal; it can purchase the equipment or return it and get new technology.
Other important elements of the Tech Refresh structure are listed below.
• There is only one refresh opportunity during the lease
• Lessee must be committed to acquire and lease similar equipment prior to exercising the option
• Tech Refresh is offered only as a Tax-Exempt Installment Sale structure
• The option cannot be exercised if an event of default has occurred and is continuing
• Lessee must provide an irrevocable written election of notice of its intent to refresh or purchase 3 months prior to
the refresh period. On the 48-month term the refresh point is month 36 which requires notification at month 33. On
the 60-month term the refresh point is month 48 which requires notification at month 45. Sample buyout goes into
effect if refresh option is not exercised.

Exhibit D: Price Schedule Lease Rates
Tax Exempt Instatlment Sale (Lease Purchase):
In a Tax-exempt Installment Sale structure, payments consist of both principal and interest, with the interest being
excludable from the Lessor's gross income for-Federal income tax purposes. During the term of the Lease the Concluding
Payment - primarily consisting of unpaid principal - declines as each Lease Payment is made and applied. Under this
structure Title typically passes to the Lessee at the Lease Acceptance and the Lessor files a security interest in the
equipment. Once the original base Lease Payments are made the Lessee owns the equipment free and clear.

Optional: Lease Rates
Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company offers the following lease options: (1) Fair Market Value/True^Lease; (2) Tax
Exempt Tech Refresh; and (3) Tax Exempt Installment Sale (Lease Purchase).
Lease are provided on the PSS. Rates may be subject to change quarterly.
Fair Market Value/True Lease:
For customers that want to lower their cost of using the equipment and retain maximum flexibility at the end of the
lease, Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company offers a fair market value lease (also known as a true lease). This "pay-
as-you-go" structure helps you stretch your budget dollars to get the technology you need today. At the end of the lease term, you have several options: 1) return the equipment without penalty; 2) renew the lease for a specified renewal term at a negotiated lease payment amount; 3) purchase the equipment at its then fair market value; or 4) extend the original term and continue to make the same periodic lease payments until you are ready to exercise one of the three previously
listed options. This plan may help customers avoid technology obsolescence and asset disposition costs.
Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company does allow customers to enter into a month-to-month extension at the end
of each lease agreement if they find it necessary to maintain their existing leased equipment for longer than the original tease timeframe. Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company also has a package and shipping service that can be
incorporated into the lease contract upfront for returns of equipment at lease end. This service can be very valuable when budgeting for your technology costs.
Tax Exempt Tech Refresh:
Tech Refresh is structured as a Tax-Exempt Installment Sale with an option on the last payment to return the equipment
(and acquire new) or make the payment and own the equipment outright. The standard offer calls for payments to be made annually in advance, though additional structures may be tailored to accommodate budget restrictions. The final (or option) payment is a set amount of the original purchase price of the equipment and is an estimate of the wholesale value of the equipment at the time of the option. The balance of the cost is amortized over the term. The benefit is that
an entity is not locked into any one particular deal; it can purchase the equipment or return it and get new technology. Other important elements of the Tech Refresh structure are listed below.
• There is only one refresh opportunity during the lease
• Lessee must be committed to acquire and lease similar equipment prior to exercising the option
• Tech Refresh is offered only as a Tax-Exempt Installment Sale structure
• The option cannot be exercised if an event of default has occurred and is continuing
• Lessee must provide an irrevocable written election of notice of its intent to refresh or purchase 3 months prior to the refresh period. On the 48-month term the refresh point is month 35 which requires notification at month 33. On the 60-month term the refresh point is month 48 which requires notification at month 45. Sample buyout goes into effect if refresh option is not exercised.

Tax Exempt Installment Sale (Lease Purchase):
In a Tax-exempt Installment Sale structure, payments consist of both principal and interest, with the Interest being
excludable from the Lessor's gross income for Federal income tax purposes. During the term of the Lease the Concluding
Payment - primarily consisting of unpaid principal - declines as each Lease Payment is made and applied. Under this
structure Title typically passes to the Lessee at the Lease Acceptance and the Lessor files a security interest in the
equipment. Once the original base Lease Payments are made the Lessee owns the equipment free and clear.
