The solicitation requires all bidders to submit two affidavits: an affidavit of bidder familial relationship disclosing any family connections to board members or the superintendent, and an affidavit of compliance with Michigan's Iran Economic Sanctions Act certifying that the bidder is not an Iran-linked business. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses were identified in the solicitation documents. The District reserved the right to accept or reject any or all bids and to waive any irregularities in its discretion, providing flexibility in the award decision. No incumbent vendor information, existing technology integration requirements, or specific budget ranges were disclosed in the available documentation. Interested vendors should note that the scope includes integration with the district's existing educational technology infrastructure across two separate school facilities with differing whiteboard specifications by location.
