Technology Support Services

Parkway School District in Missouri is soliciting qualified vendors to provide technology support services on an as-needed basis through a sealed bid procurement process. The primary deliverables include support for Microsoft Data Center Products, Dell Solutions, VMware, Veeam, and Pure Storage, with vendors required to provide hourly cost structures for both regular and emergency service calls. Vendors must submit sealed bids exclusively through the Parkway School District Bonfire Portal at https://parkwayschools.bonfirehub.com/ by April 24, 2026, with virtual bid opening conducted via Google Meet. The District will evaluate bids based on how well items meet specifications, the vendor's ability to supply required services, prior experience, financial strength, and inventory maintenance commitments, ultimately selecting the "lowest and best" bid. Successful vendors must provide three references preferably from educational institutions, submit detailed information regarding any proposed subcontractors for prior District approval, and maintain required insurance throughout the contract term. The resulting agreement will be valid for one year or until all specified services are delivered, whichever occurs first, with the District retaining the right to extend for one additional month with written notice. Price increases are permitted only with thirty-day notice and Purchasing Manager approval, limited to cost increases without percentage increases to profit and overhead.

All contractors awarded contracts exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000) must be enrolled in and actively participating in the federal E-Verify work authorization program as required by Missouri Revised Statute 285.530, with contractors required to execute a sworn affidavit confirming enrollment and provide documentation via screen print-outs prior to or contemporaneously with contract execution. The District encourages purchases of products manufactured in the United States and gives preference to Missouri-manufactured goods and Missouri-based firms when quality, price, and delivery are comparable, though no formal set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are specified in the available documentation. Failure to comply with E-Verify requirements constitutes material breach of the contract. All deliveries are F.O.B. destination, freight allowed, to the Central Warehouse at 363 North Woods Mill Road, Chesterfield, Missouri 63017. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the solicitation documents; vendors must submit competitive hourly rates for both regular and emergency technology support services.
