Final Information Available for New State Dell/Apple Contracts
Message Posted January 12, 2001
As I mentioned in a previous e-mail, Apple and Dell have selected not to participate in the PEPPM contract this year, however, there has been another state contract established for schools and libraries to use both for E-rate purchases as well as purchases throughout the year.
The Lancaster/Lebanon IU 13 has competitively bid the Apple and Dell product lines on behalf of the schools and libraries in Pennsylvania, and a contract with signed this week. To purchase from these contracts, simply visit http://www.iu13.k12.pa.us/statewidebids/ and click on either Apple or Dell to review specific directions relating to these contracts as well as price lists.
