Notice of Intent to Award Contract for Technology Products and Services via Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing to CDW Government - Freehold Township

The Township of Freehold, located in Monmouth County, New Jersey, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Contract for Technology Products and Services. This procurement leverages an existing national cooperative purchasing agreement established with Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing, specifically contract RFP# 121923. The scope of this intended award encompasses a broad range of technology products and associated services, with the objective of acquiring necessary IT resources efficiently through a pre-negotiated cooperative vehicle. The contract under Sourcewell, which the Township intends to utilize, has a maturity date of February 27, 2029, indicating a long-term framework for these services. This Notice of Intent identifies CDW Government, located at 230 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Vernon Hills, IL 60061-4304, as the intended contractor. CDW Government was previously awarded the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreement, meaning they have already met the stringent qualification and vetting requirements of the national cooperative. Consequently, the Township of Freehold is not soliciting new bids or proposals, and therefore, specific contractor qualifications, licenses (e.g., NJ Public Works Contractor Registration), or experience requirements for this direct municipal action are not applicable. No mandatory pre-bid meetings or site visits are associated with this cooperative contract utilization. The Township of Freehold anticipates officially joining the Sourcewell contract with CDW Government on October 13, 2026. The public opportunity to comment on this intended purchase commenced upon the publication date of the notice, October 2, 2026, and will conclude ten days thereafter. This procurement is conducted under the authority of N.J.S.A 52:34-6.2(b)(3), which permits New Jersey municipalities to participate in national cooperative purchasing agreements. The contract period for receiving services will officially begin upon the issuance of a purchase order by the Township. Details regarding bid security, performance bonds, or specific submission instructions for new proposals are not relevant to this Notice of Intent to Award.
