Spring 2021 Dell Bulk Buy

The Spring 2021 Dell bulk buy period for UMD institutional purchases is available through July 30, 2021. The bulk buy discount is 5 to 7% off on select configurations.  Shopping through UMD’s e-procurement system, Shell Shop, is the recommended method for purchasing devices from this promotion. Alternatively, Dell has created a special Premier website for this bulk purchase timeframe like they have for previous bulk buy promotions; however, the Premier website now requires registration. 

All orders MUST be processed by Friday, July 30, 2021. To assure that your eQuote will be processed by the end of the bulk buy, please complete purchases by Friday, July 24, 2021.
