The district posted an RFI and received one response from Stanley Convergent Security Solutions, the original equipment manufacturer. The district subsequently issued an Invitation to Negotiate to finalize a contract. The scope of work includes providing parts and services for the security equipment. Key points to consider are the single-source nature of the contract, the negotiation process, and the potential for a long-term contract.
