A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 12, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. located at 19 East Main Street in Ackerman, Mississippi, where all interested bidders must attend to be considered for the award. Sealed bids must be submitted by February 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., with bidders required to clearly mark envelopes as "SEALED BID - DO NOT OPEN" and include the designation "2026 E-Rate Bid". Bidders have two submission options: traditional sealed bids or electronic submission through Central Bidding (www.centralbidding.com). To obtain the Request for Proposals (RFP), interested parties must email Millie Rollins at rfp@regroupms.com and confirm receipt within 24 hours, with alternative contact available at 662-630-0118. The public bid opening will occur on February 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., with the school district reserving the right to accept or reject any submitted bids.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors capable of providing E-Rate eligible technology and telecommunications infrastructure, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. The funding source is the federal E-Rate program, which supports technology infrastructure in educational institutions. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, the procurement suggests a potential upgrade or replacement of existing technological systems within the school district. No specific budget range or award value is directly stated in the available documentation. Interested bidders must demonstrate technical capability to provide Category 2 E-Rate products and services, and must comply with the electronic or physical submission requirements outlined in the bid documents. Additional details regarding specific technological requirements, vendor qualifications, or evaluation criteria would likely be contained in the full RFP document, which can be obtained by contacting the provided email or phone number.
