All Chromebooks must be new and include Google licensing. The RFP was released on January 16, 2024, with a vendor question deadline of January 29, 2024, and vendor answers to be provided by January 31, 2024. Sealed proposals are due by February 5, 2024, at 4:00 PM CST, with proposals to be submitted either to the district office or via email to Dan Powers. The proposal opening is scheduled for February 6, 2024, at 1:00 PM CST, with a final RFP decision expected by February 20, 2024. Evaluation criteria will include price, delivery capability, vendor experience, and ability to meet equipment specifications. Equipment must be delivered to 346 W. Randolph Street, Rosholt, WI 54473 within 60 days of the expected delivery date to avoid purchase cancellation.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. Vendors must complete Appendix A, providing an itemized pricing breakdown, and proposals stating pricing is only valid subject to availability or prior sale will be considered non-responsive. The school district reserves the right to reject all proposals and reissue the RFP, indicating this is not a binding contract. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves 100 Chromebook units, suggesting a moderate-value technology acquisition. Vendors will be evaluated on their ability to provide competitive pricing, demonstrate reliable delivery capabilities, showcase relevant past experience, and fully comply with the detailed technical requirements outlined in the RFP. The successful vendor will need to provide new Chromebook units that meet the district's specific technological and educational requirements, with a focus on providing quality student-use devices.
