Bar code card readers

The Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) in North Carolina is seeking bids for the purchase and installation of approximately 900 bar code readers for their student transportation buses. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) specifies the required bar code reader model, warranty information, shipping, and installation details. Vendors must provide evidence that they are an authorized reseller or distributor of the specified CalAmp bar code readers and confirm the readers' compatibility with WCPSS's existing Synovia/CalAmp software and systems. Bid submissions are due by June 13, 2024 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, and the award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder providing the lowest price. The contract will be for the purchase and installation of the bar code readers, with the option for additional maintenance and support services following the manufacturer's warranty period.

This contract opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The IFB does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide specific budget information. However, the large scale of the project, with approximately 900 bar code readers to be purchased and installed, suggests a significant contract value.
