The scope requires 26 units of 75-inch displays and 11 units of 86-inch displays with specified accessories: PC modules with Intel i5 processors (or i7 in the ClearTouch option), extended warranties, Wi-Fi adapters, mobile stands, wall mounts, and professional development services. All equipment must be new, not refurbished or gray-market. Vendors must be authorized resellers and must provide inside delivery with liftgate service, fully assemble all products, test each panel at its assigned location, and dispose of all shipping materials. Removal of existing projectors, mounts, cabling, and associated equipment is invited; all removed equipment goes to district staff. Vendors must submit at least three references from school districts with similar implementations and a completed Statement of Eligibility and Compliance.

Evaluation weights are total project cost (30 points), prior vendor experience and manufacturer knowledge (20 points), K-12 references and similar implementations (20 points), scope of work and specification compliance (15 points), completion timeline (10 points), and additional benefits (5 points).
