Re-advertisement: Information is hereby requested for the following: Provision of sustainable printing equipment, software, consumables and services for UN global operations. Specifications: Printing Hardware: A. Multi-Functional Printers (MFP): both color and black and white with varying speeds, able to print double sided, scan & email to PDF and copy, to meet different user requirements; 1. Low Volume MFP - personal, small sized device, directly connected to computer, tablet, or phone through Bluetooth and USB, Laser or Inkjet; 2. Medium Volume MFP - for the use by a team of 10-15 staff, fits on table, network connected, supporting A4/Letter paper format, includes a multi-document feeder for scanning, able to join an existing Wi-Fi network, minimum resolution of printing & scanning of 1200x1200 dpi, able to also print from USB drive, minimum paper capacity of 500 pages; 3. Large Volume MFP - for a building/floor of 100+ staff, free standing, network connected, supporting at least A4/Letter and A3 sized paper, separate toners for each colour, includes a multi-document feeder and allows double sided scanning, supporting gigabit network at minimum, minimum resolution for printing & scanning of 1200x1200 dpi, able to also print from USB drive, minimum paper capacity of 1500 pages. B. Large Format Inkjet Printers: suitable for printing high-quality maps, architectural drawings, satellite imagery, and other oversized materials; must have the ability to produce prints up to A0 size (33.1" x 46.8") or larger with high resolution and precision; acceptable media types should encompass no just standard printing papers but also specialized medias like photo papers, vinyl"s, backlits, and canvases to accommodate a wide range of GIS mapping needs; must utilize dye or pigment-based inks providing vibrant colors, water/smudge resistance, and longevity printed output. II. Printing Software: innovative and eco-responsible secure print management system: A. Print Mobility and Security - system should enable users to securely release print jobs from any network printer using multi-factor authentication [e.g., United Nations issued RFID cards integrated with Microsoft Entra ID]; eliminates the need for printer logins and reduces waste from abandoned print jobs; B. Flexible Deployment - cloud-based solution accessible via web, locations with limited bandwidth should have option for an on-premise or hybrid deployment model; C. Light Footprint - minimal client software footprint on user devices to streamline printing across the United Nations diverse technology landscape; D. Environmental Controls - granular controls to enforce eco-printing rules [e.g., enforcing duplex/double sided printing, allowing only mono/black-white, and setting user-specific print quotas to reduce paper and toner waste; E. Guest Printing - secure guest printing functionality to provision temporary printing access for visitors and contractors with page and time limits F. Output Auditing - robust tracking, auditing, and reporting of all printing activity across the print environment for accountability and cost optimization; G. Innovation Areas - suppliers are encouraged to inform on innovative solutions for further enhancing secure printing, reducing environmental impact via technologies [e.g., pull printing, print delegation, cloud printing integration, leveraging data analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML)] to drive sustainable printing behaviors. III. Printing Consumables: A. Ability to supply original, environmentally preferable printer/plotter products with low environmental impact B. Made from recycled or recyclable materials C. Toner cartridges and consumables designed for high yield and resource efficiency D. Free of hazardous substances and compliant with ecolabel standards E. Suppliers are requested to provide examples of their comprehensive global takeback and recycling program to retrieve used consumables from all United Nations facilities for environmentally sound recycling and disposal F. Need to be available for at least two years after printer model is discontinued to enable maximum useful life IV. Managed Printing Services - comprehensive service to optimize its global print infrastructure in an environmentally sustainable manner A. Implementation Services - deployment, setup, integration, and ongoing support for a secure, network-connected print environment across United Nations facilities; B. Flexible Acquistion Models - options for printer and consumables leasing or full managed services; cost-per-page pricing aligned with actual usage to minimize wastage; C. Print Environment Optimization - consolidation of dispersed print assets to drive energy and supplies reduction; proactive replacement of aging, inefficient devices with modern, energy-efficient models; continuous monitoring and reporting on environmental metrics [e.g., energy use, emissions, solid waste]; D. Environmental Innovation - information related to innovative technologies and circular practices to further minimize environmental impact which relies on user data analytics; eco-responsible print services, robust environmental monitoring, reporting processes, and a continuous improvement mindset aligned with United Nations emission reduction targets. V. Sustainable Innovation - information for innovative, sustainable printing technologies, circular business models and environmentally responsible practices: A. Experience providing sustainable, environmentally responsible printing solutions globally; B. Capability to deliver, maintain, and service equipment across international locations; C. Robust and green supply chains for consumables; D. Ecolabel compliance, environmental standards, and certifications; E. Measurement and reporting capability on environmental performance metrics; F. Innovative solutions to reduce environmental impact. Please confirm the closing time. (Tender №102331333)
