The Ocean Springs School District (OSSD) in Jasper County, Mississippi, is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a comprehensive 3D Anatomy Visualization Table and Tablet system for its Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department. The procurement seeks a turnkey anatomical simulation solution that will enable students to practice medical procedures through advanced digital visualization without using physical cadavers. The required system includes an 85" long visualization table with convertible horizontal and vertical orientations, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, and a 256GB tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra or equivalent). Specific software requirements include Anatomage software with interactive capabilities such as touch-responsive zoom and rotation, anatomy videos, quizzing tools, 2 digital bodies, 2,500 anatomical structures, and 300 CT/MRI scans. The RFQ mandates that vendors provide comprehensive documentation including warranty information, software details, potential subscription costs, and related contracts. Key procurement dates include a bid submission deadline of May 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with a reverse auction scheduled for June 3, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST. Vendor qualifications include manufacturer authorization, demonstrated financial stability, and the ability to provide products meeting or exceeding the district's detailed specifications.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement is a no-price RFQ with a deliverables-based engagement, and the district notes it is exempt from Mississippi sales tax and most federal taxes. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements are specifically mentioned in the documentation. While a precise award value is not stated, the comprehensive nature of the 3D anatomy visualization system suggests a significant technology investment for the school district's educational infrastructure. Vendors must submit proposals that fully comply with the district's technical specifications, with an emphasis on providing a cutting-edge, interactive anatomical learning platform. The district will evaluate submissions based on the ability to meet or exceed the comprehensive technical requirements outlined in the RFQ, with a focus on system functionality, software capabilities, and overall educational value for medical and anatomical training.
