Has anyone in corporate purchasing had Dell unilaterally terminate a PC/laptop supply contract due to pricing being too low?

Yes. The ante for poker has gone up mid-game and anybody who doesn't like is being invited to leave the game. Sorry about your luck 😄

Not exactly what you're asking, but all of our Premier standard configs suddenly disappeared about two months ago. I asked our rep to redo them and the new prices were about 20% higher on desktops and 50% higher on laptops.

We had this happen mid contract cycle, the rep basically said the pricing tier we locked in "no longer reflected current market conditions" which is corp speak for we messed up and you got a good deal.

I see a lot of price quotes raised. This is through a reseller but the order platform that Dell runs is now completely devoid of any configurations.
