I've just checked and I could not find it for most models. I could find it for the OptiPlex 7450 All-in-One, but not for the Precision line.
At [1], you can find a screenshot of the setting that reflects this option. A colleague of mine ordered such a system and it came with a leaflet explaining that this meant that Intel ME was turned off and could no longer be turned on for this machine (trap door mechanism). It also explained that SKUs with Intel ME enabled could enter this state through the UEFI menu. He opened his system up and inspected the system board, and it was also labeled with a seal stating that Intel ME had been disabled on this system and could not be turned on. I'm trying to get hold of the leaflet so I can give you the exact wording Dell used for this.
The fact that this state can be entered through a UEFI program makes me believe that other systems running Dell's newest UEFI platform will have the same capability, but I have not been able to confirm this.
My screenshot is from the Belgian Dell enterprise portal. The wording translates to "System management: vPro Management Engine (ME) not executable, customer order".
