CDW (US enterprise IT reseller) — NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell workstation card line

PNY NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 96GB GDDR7 (MFG VCNRTXPRO6000B-PB, CDW 8326705) advertised price, pre-tax, observed 2026-10-03, state 'Item Backordered'. Same line, same day: PNY full-height variant $16,233.99. PRICE CLASS: this is an ASKING price captured from a live listing or product page, i.e. the price at which a seller advertises the part for sale right now. It is NOT a sold/completed transaction price, NOT an auction result and NOT a dealer cost. A realised price on the same day would generally be lower, and for used or refurbished parts the gap between ask and realised is typically wide PERISHABLE-FIGURE STAMP (added 2026-10-04, uniform across data/supply/ so it is greppable). PRICE CLASS: ASKING price captured from a live listing or product page - the price at which a seller advertises the item right now. NOT a sold/completed transaction price, NOT an auction result and NOT a dealer cost; for used or refurbished parts the gap between ask and realised is typically wide. OBSERVED: 2026-10-03 RE-VERIFY BY: 2027-01-04 - the repo's quarterly re-verification bar. After that date this figure is presumed drifted and must be re-checked against its source before it is quoted again. A price without its observation date is noise; this stamp exists so a reader can tell a fresh figure from a stale one without reading prose. UNIT: PNY NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 96GB GDDR7 (MFG VCNRTXPRO6000B-PB, CDW 8326705) advertised price, pre-tax, observed 2026-10-03, state 'Item Backordered' READING RULE: No further perishable flag is published for this figure.

lead_time_weeks 6 is the MIDPOINT of the only range CDW publishes for this part ('4-6+ Weeks', observed 2026-10-03, source spl-cdw-published-lead-times-gpu-2026-10). It is arithmetic on a published range, not a figure CDW states for this SKU, and '4-6+' is open-ended above - so 6 is a lower-bound midpoint, not a commitment. The record's own note already says this; it is now machine-readable.

EAR 3A001 or EAR99 (below the 3A090.a TPP / performance-density thresholds) + EAR 744.23 (Entity List) + EAR 744.6 (Unverified / MEU lists)

MECHANISM: the part falls BELOW the ECCN 3A090.a/.b TPP and performance-density thresholds, so the advanced-computing licence regime, its case-by-case China/Macau carve-out and its D:5 screening do NOT attach. What remains is the general EAR plus destination-country import rules and screening of the consignee and its ultimate parent against the Entity, Unverified and MEU lists. NO LICENCE REQUIRED for the sale itself; the screening is a party-listing check, not a performance-threshold check. The binding ECCN determination for any specific part is the exporter's own classification, not this record.

Scoped to the workstation card line only; the repo's separate cdw-enterprise record covers CDW's server and cloud configurations and carries no published price. The workstation card line is not cheap or fast: of six results on 2026-10-03, three were 'Item Backordered', one was '4-6+ Weeks', and two were 'Request Pricing' with no published figure at all. Two actionable observations. First, the PNY full-height bracket variant is $16,233.99 against $19,977.99 for standard height - a $3,744 spread for a bracket, worth shopping deliberately. Second, this channel is materially more expensive than US consumer/pro channels for the same silicon: B&H listed PNY RTX PRO 6000 Workstation at $16,499.00 and Micro Center stocked NVIDIA Workstation Edition in store at $15,899.99-$15,999.99 on the same date, so CDW is roughly 21-26% above those. If you have the paperwork to buy through a consumer or big-box channel, do. Lead time of 6 weeks is inference - the midpoint of the only lead time CDW published ('4-6+ Weeks') - and is not a quote. EXPORT CONTROL (2026-10-04, mechanism-level; source spl-eccn-3a090-ccl): consumer gaming cards of this generation generally do NOT meet the 3A090.a TPP/performance-density parameters and fall under ECCN 3A001 or are designated EAR99, i.e. the advanced-computing licence regime with its case-by-case and D:5 screening does not attach to them. This is exactly what makes export status a PER-PART property rather than a per-vendor one: a GeForce RTX 5090 and a datacenter/professional part from the same vendor and the same process generation can carry entirely different control status. Recorded as false for that reason, NOT because the part is unregulated - it remains subject to the EAR generally, to destination-country import rules, and to screening of the consignee and its ultimate parent against the Entity, Unverified and MEU lists (15 CFR part 744). The binding ECCN determination for any specific SKU is the exporter's own classification, which no public vendor page states. LEAD TIME 2026-10-04: re-verified and now PRIMARY-sourced. The PNY RTX PRO 6000 96GB bare cards (CDW 8326705 / 8326706) and the NVIDIA Workstation Edition (CDW 9039015) all read 'Item Backordered' on this date with NO week window at all - CDW publishes LESS for the scarcest SKUs than for merely-constrained ones. The 6 weeks retained in lead_time_weeks is the midpoint of the '4-6+ Weeks' window CDW publishes for the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell SERVER EDITION line (CDW 8379294), i.e. the closest same-family sibling that does carry a window, and the existing note already flags this as inference rather than a quote. Treating a backorder with no window as '6 weeks' would be a fabricated figure, so the field is left as the documented inference and the true state is backorder-no-estimate.
