What is WSCA/NASPO Premium Savings Package Pricing:
The WSCA/NASPO PC contracts are competitively solicited contracts for manufacturers of personal computer equipment and related devices. The “WSCA/NASPO PC Contract price” is for ordering a single configuration, one configuration at a time. That seemed to be the only rational way to structure a contract that is currently being used by several thousand entities in 45 states.
The solicitation and resulting contracts specifically permit manufacturers and using entities to arrange “better than a single unit price” for volume purchases (need 100 or 1,000, or maybe 10 - the term is not defined) or other instances in which there will be different situations than ordering a single possible configuration, one unit at a time. Entities may, for instance, establish a “standard” configuration and limit/encourage/ require purchasing that “standard configuration.”
The WSCA directors authorized the creation of a WSCA/NASPO Premium Savings Package (WNPSP) mechanism within the contract.
The WNPSP team is a group of interested state representatives (both procurement and technology representatives), who work to define packages (configurations) that might serve as a “state standard” or might simply be a configuration that can be widely used. It is really up to each individual state and participating entity to make such a decision. But, by cooperatively establishing the package, we bring potential volume to the table to get better pricing.
The current process is to redefine/update the packages every six months, so that the new pricing is available on May 1 and November 1 of each year.
We welcome your thoughts and participation. Please contact us, see the list above, with any questions, ideas or suggestions.
