The School District of Pickens County sold its surplus inventory of used Chromebooks, iPads, and iPhones to a single vendor through an open Invitation‑for‑Bid process. Bidders were required to submit sealed envelopes with originals, copies, and an electronic thumb‑drive, and the award was made to the highest responsive bidder for each device category. The district required a cashier’s check (including 7 % SC sales tax) to be received before the buyer could pick up the equipment, which had to be collected within 60 days of award. No warranties were provided; the devices were sold “as‑is, where‑is.”
