Internet/Catalog Ordering for Educational Supplies

Fulton County Schools (FCS) is seeking proposals for a Requirements Contract for Internet/Catalog Ordering of Educational Supplies to support procurement across its 108 existing schools and departments. The solicitation invites vendors to provide a comprehensive online catalog ordering platform that allows the district to purchase educational supplies through internet, telephone, and purchase order channels. Proposals must be digitally submitted through Euna Procurement (Bonfire) by 2:30 p.m. EST on January 20, 2026, with questions due by 4:00 p.m. EST on January 6, 2026. The evaluation will be weighted across three key areas: pricing (400 points), technical capabilities (400 points), and business stability (100 points). Vendors must demonstrate superior pricing compared to general market rates, maintain consistent discount percentages across all ordering methods, and provide a current 2025 catalog with an active website. Proposal requirements include submitting audited financial statements for the past two accounting years, at least three references from similar clients, and documentation of current business licenses and Georgia registration.

The contract does not indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses. FCS reserves the right to award the contract to multiple contractors or on an "All or None" basis. Contractors must comply with Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance requirements, including E-Verify program registration and documentation. Insurance requirements are substantial, mandating workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability, umbrella liability ($3,000,000), and potential professional liability coverage. The base contract will have a performance period specified in the award letter, with four optional one-year renewal periods at FCS's discretion. Successful vendors must register on Ariba, FCS's business network, and complete supplier registration questionnaires. While no specific contract value or budget range is explicitly stated, the requirements suggest a comprehensive, ongoing procurement relationship serving a large metropolitan school district with over 100 schools and departments.
