The Copiah County School District is seeking sealed bids for E-Rate Category 2 products and services through a competitive procurement process. The district will accept bids through both physical sealed envelope submissions and secure electronic submissions via Central Bidding's online platform. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 14, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. located at 254 West Gallatin Street in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, with bidders who do not attend being automatically disqualified. The bid submission deadline is November 4, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with bids required to be clearly marked "2026 E-Rate Bid" on the envelope. Interested vendors must obtain the Request for Proposals (RFP) by emailing Millie Rollins at rfp@regroupms.com, with a follow-up phone call recommended if no response is received within 24 hours. Stephen Barlow, the Technology Director, is overseeing the procurement, and the district reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids submitted.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, potential bidders should note the electronic bid document availability through Central Bidding's platform, with technical support accessible at 225-810-4814. The procurement appears open to technology vendors capable of providing E-Rate Category 2 products and services, suggesting a competitive solicitation without explicit restrictions on business size or type. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is provided. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability to provide educational technology solutions compatible with the district's existing infrastructure. The procurement process emphasizes both physical and electronic submission methods, indicating flexibility for potential respondents while maintaining strict procedural requirements.
