IT1102L-2 Intercom System for Dixon High School

The state and local contract opportunity involves a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Onslow County Schools Procurement & Materials Management Department for a comprehensive intercom system replacement at Dixon High School. The procurement seeks to upgrade an antiquated intercom infrastructure by installing a 264-station Nyquist IP-based system, which includes 11 Analog Station Bridges, 1 System Controller, MMPA, I/O Controller, and 2 admin phones. The project requires installing 89 new staff phone locations (67 wall-mounted and 24 desk phones), 189 new speakers of various types, and new Cat6 cabling. Evaluation criteria will be weighted across three key areas: cost (40%), hardware compatibility (30%), and vendor prior experience (30%). The RFP was issued on September 24, 2025, with proposals due by October 7, 2025, and the anticipated contract term running from the award date through April 30, 2026. Vendors are encouraged to conduct a site visit by contacting Todd Saski via email, and all materials must be new and current, with the selected vendor responsible for complete installation, existing infrastructure removal, and comprehensive system integration.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Vendors must comply with federal and state regulations, including non-discrimination provisions and specific requirements for contracts involving federal funds. The RFP mandates that all proposed materials be new and current, with one year of software support included and detailed warranty information required. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project is part of a multi-year district-wide upgrade plan aimed at standardizing to IP-based Bogen Nyquist systems. The procurement involves replacing existing infrastructure with a comprehensive communication system, suggesting potential complexity in integration requirements. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the detailed technical specifications and comprehensive system requirements indicate a significant investment in modernizing the school's communication infrastructure.
