The Starkville Oktibbeha Consolidated School District (SOCSD) in Mississippi is seeking proposals for a comprehensive security camera system upgrade across ten school facilities. The procurement involves replacing and adding 451 5MP IP cameras, twelve 64-channel 24TB Network Video Recorders (NVRs), and one 16-channel 8TB NVR, with the requirement that all equipment be 100% compatible with the existing exacqVision system. Bidders must be authorized exacqVision system dealers with a minimum of five years of experience, provide 24/7/365 helpdesk support, and submit three references for similar installations. The bid evaluation will be based on four key factors: price of products and services (40 points), bid exact specified equipment (25 points), authorized exacqVision dealer status (20 points), and local/in-state service vendor status (15 points). A mandatory site visit is scheduled for February 11 or 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with proposals due by February 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM and bid opening at 10:30 AM. Successful vendors must provide both one-year service/maintenance and three-year manufacturer warranty coverage.

While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, the procurement emphasizes local vendor participation through the evaluation criteria. The project requires integration with the district's existing exacqVision security system, which suggests continuity of technological infrastructure. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project involving 451 cameras and multiple NVRs across ten facilities indicates a significant investment in school security infrastructure. The mandatory site visit and strict equipment compatibility requirements suggest the district is seeking a highly specialized solution that meets their precise technical specifications. Vendors must demonstrate not only technical capability through their exacqVision dealer status but also local responsiveness through their ability to provide ongoing support and maintenance for the school district's security system.
