IP Intercom System

The Cherokee County School District (CCSD) in Georgia issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) soliciting qualified vendors to design, supply, and install IP Intercom Systems for three school locations: Cherokee North High School, Knox Elementary School, and Liberty Elementary School. The procurement was posted on June 12, 2025, with proposals due by June 26, 2025. Vendors were required to submit all questions and communications through the Bonfire Interactive Portal's Message Center, and registration with the Bonfire system was mandatory to access solicitation documents, receive notifications, and submit proposals. The district reserved the right to award the contract to multiple proposers at its discretion. While specific evaluation criteria, detailed technical specifications, deliverables, and required vendor qualifications are contained within the full solicitation documents accessible through the Bonfire portal, the procurement documents indicate that vendors must select appropriate commodity codes from the CCSD Procurement Services website commodity services codes list.

The solicitation documents do not specify any particular set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or limitations on organizational types eligible to respond. Following the competitive solicitation process, the contract was awarded to Cana Communications, Inc. on July 18, 2025, though the award notification indicates that projects may have been awarded to multiple proposers in the district's best interest. The awarded vendor was required to submit a completed W-9 form to the district's accounts payable department at accounts.payable@cherokeek12.net and was encouraged to provide banking information for ACH/EFT payment processing. The specific award value or total contract budget was not disclosed in the available documentation; however, the award established a one-time agreement for the IP Intercom System services at the three school locations.
