Try using New York State Office of General Services, they will carry a
detailed list of technology services, and hardware with current list
prices and state discounts. We use to use this resource to order
equipment, software and services when working for the government.

http://wwwstage.ogs.state.ny.us/purchase/prices/75016T940052prices101504.pdf

Trying to find any information their main page is pretty tedious you
will have much better look doing a Google search for NYS OGS <product
here>.

Best of Luck.
