About this file

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Chromebook procurement issued by Bulloch County Schools (BCS) in Statesboro, Georgia. The RFP seeks approximately 1,500 Chromebooks for the 2025-2026 school year, with the bid available from March 6, 2025, and responses due by April 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST. The bid opening is scheduled for 2:00 PM EST on the same day, with anticipated award in May/June 2025 and purchase units planned for July 2025. The initial contract term will run through June 30, 2026, with the potential for ongoing renewal and additional purchases as needed by the school district, which serves approximately 11,000 students across 18 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, 1 middle-high school, and 3 alternative schools.

The RFP allows vendors to propose Chromebook models from manufacturers like HP, Lenovo, and Acer, with specifications requiring a minimum configuration of Intel N100 CPU, 8GB or 16GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, and a 14" HD display. Pricing must remain fixed through the contract term, with mandatory one-year manufacturer warranties included. The school district requires vendors to provide Chrome Device Management Licenses and offers optional three-year warranty pricing. Additional white-glove services are requested, including device unboxing, initial setup, configuration in the Google Admin Console, and environmentally responsible packaging disposal. The bid emphasizes that the lowest-cost proposal may not necessarily be selected, with evaluation criteria including overall suitability, implementation ease, vendor experience, and conformance to bid requirements.
