The Choctaw County School District (CCSD) is seeking proposals for a comprehensive intercom and communication systems project targeting Choctaw County High School, Choctaw County Career Center, and Opportunity Center. The procurement involves a turn-key design and installation of a new school-wide intercom/bell system with specific technical requirements, including scalable and expandable communication capabilities throughout administrative offices, classrooms, hallways, and common areas. The proposed system must feature call buttons in classrooms, an easily programmable bell scheduling system, district-wide command and control capabilities, a web-based interface with secure permissions, emergency "check-in" functionality, and IP communication paths. Prospective bidders are required to attend a mandatory site walkthrough by May 26, 2025, and submit sealed bids by May 30, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. CST, with a project recommendation to the board scheduled for June 9, 2025. The vendor must provide a complete solution including equipment, licensing, installation, documentation, technical assistance, maintenance, and staff training, with system specifications requiring a military-grade computer server, network switch, speaker cards, phones, amplifiers, and associated hardware.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation, the project will require vendors to demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities and system integration expertise. The procurement necessitates removal of existing intercom systems and full responsibility for installation, with the option for a hybrid solution combining 25/70V and IP addressable endpoints. The district emphasizes system quality, functionality, and the ability to meet or exceed specified standards. Although no precise budget range is provided, the complexity of the project suggests a significant technological investment involving multiple school facilities. Vendors will need to showcase extensive experience in educational communication system design, implementation, and support, with a focus on creating a robust, scalable solution that can adapt to the district's current and future technological needs.
