The Prentiss County School District in Mississippi is seeking sealed and electronic bids for the sale of surplus Apple computer equipment, specifically 145 iPad 7th Generation (A2197) devices, 200 MacBook Air (A2179) laptops, and 3 MacBook Air (A1466) laptops. This procurement is a surplus equipment sale opportunity, with bids being accepted until March 5, 2025, at 1:00 PM at the Superintendent's Office. Bid specifications are available on the district's website (www.prentisscountyschools.com) or in person at the district office. The equipment will be sold "As Is Where Is" and includes some charging cables and blocks for the MacBook Airs, with pickup scheduled for March 19, 2025. Bidders are required to submit a security deposit of 5% of the total bid amount via cashier's check, certified check, bid bond, or irrevocable letter of credit. The district will award the contract to the highest and best bidder, reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Potential bidders should note that while the site can accommodate a full-size semi-truck, there is no loading dock or forklift available, and the winning bidder is responsible for all labor, packaging, shipping materials, and costs, with removal required within 30 days of the award.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement opportunity. The bid does not mention any preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or specific vendor qualifications beyond the ability to meet the bid requirements and remove the equipment. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the documentation. The procurement appears to be an open market sale of surplus technology equipment, with the primary qualification being the ability to submit a competitive bid and handle the equipment removal logistics. While no specific budget range is provided, the volume of equipment suggests a potentially significant transaction value. Interested parties should carefully review the full bid documentation and be prepared to meet the administrative and logistical requirements outlined in the Request for Proposals.
