About this file

This is Addendum No. 1 for an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the School Board of Seminole County Florida's Purchasing and Distribution Services Department for iPad Cases with Accidental Damage Protection (ADP). The solicitation (ITB No. 24250031B-VG) seeks iPad cases for the 10.2-inch iPad (9th generation) with an anticipated transition to the 10th generation model within six months. The bid opening is scheduled for October 15, 2024, before 3:00 P.M. EST, with a three-year contract term. Historical purchase data indicates varying annual unit volumes: 211 units in 24-25, 103 units in 23-24, 407 units in 22-23, and 178 units in 21-22.

The addendum provides clarification on key bid specifications, including ADP coverage requirements, which must extend for the full three-year contract period with a locked bid price. The tempered glass for the cases must meet specific technical standards: 9H super hardness, fingerprint and scratch resistance, bubble-free application, and ultra-clear glass. Bidders are required to provide comprehensive coverage that includes damage to the iPad case, screen, and device. The document emphasizes that partial submissions (such as ADP-only or case-only bids) will not be considered, and bidders must provide a complete solution for iPad protection.
