2. Using the E-911 PSAP Equipment EPL:
2.1 There are seven sellers on the list. Please call these sellers with questions
regarding pricing or products on this list using the Vendor Information
Chapter. Only the products included on the attached list are authorized by
ITS for purchase.
2.2 New for the E-911 PSAP EPL is the use of the Manufacturer Reseller Groups
Model. This model allows manufacturers to provide the not-to-exceed pricing
and model numbers on behalf of their resellers. For the most part, the
Manufacturer Reseller Groups should be transparent to our customers: you
will use the EPL as you always have. Additional information and a few tips
are outlined below. Please call the Procurement Help Desk at 601-432-8166
if you have any questions.
2.2.1 If a product item shows “XXXXX Reseller Group,” go to the
Vendor Information Chapter for a listing of the resellers you may
contact. Use the steps outlined below in working with the vendors
on that list for each step in the EPL procurement methodology,
from negotiating updated pricing to placing your order.
2.2.2 Follow the directions in the Vendor Information Chapter regarding
placement of order or remittance of payment.
2.2.3 It is extremely important that you check with individual
resellers within the Reseller Group for discounted pricing.
Remember, the manufacturer proposed a “not-to-exceed”
price and many of the resellers may offer you discounts from
that price.
2.3 Some of the E-911 configurations require Microsoft Server Licenses, ESRI
GIS Software licenses or other possible software licenses covered by other
ITS Express Products Lists. Additionally, there are some hardware
components proposed as part of the E-911 systems that could be used in other
settings, such as servers, desktops, printers, switches, racks, and monitors.
These items are only approved on the E-911 PSAP Express Products List
3646 to be used in the PSAP environment. ITS excludes the authorization to
purchase such software and hardware from the E-911 EPL 3646 vendors if
said items are not intended for use as part of the PSAP system.
2.4 Pricing on the E-911 PSAP Equipment EPL is not-to-exceed, meaning sellers
may offer lower pricing at the time of sale. Please notify ITS if an EPL
vendor quotes a price higher than the EPL published price.
