Book Fair Services

This solicitation sought a vendor to provide comprehensive K‑12 book‑fair services for Lexington County School District One, covering scheduling, book selection, logistics, sales processing, promotion, and post‑fair reporting. The contract was structured as a one‑year term with up to four one‑year renewal options (maximum five years) and required the contractor to return a minimum percentage of sales to the schools as cash and book‑buy credit. The solicitation was issued on 5 Mar 2025, with questions due 10 Mar, bid opening 19 Mar, and an intent‑to‑award posted 21 Mar. However, the award posting date was later extended indefinitely, and the district ultimately issued a Statement of No Award on 24 Mar 2025, meaning no vendor was selected. • Scope: full‑service book‑fair management (scheduling, inventory, setup, sales, reporting). • Pricing model: revenue‑share (“sales‑back”) percentages rather than a fixed price. • Procurement type: sealed‑bid Invitation for Bids (full and open competition). • No vendor awarded; the opportunity is closed without contract formation.
