AV Rack, Outlet, Interface & Mixer

Northside Independent School District is soliciting cooperative quotes for the purchase of AV Racks, Outlets, Interfaces, and Mixers under solicitation number Co-Op Quote 2026-090, with a response deadline of June 2, 2026. Only vendors with active contracts through designated purchasing cooperatives—including 1GPA, Choice Partners, E & I, multiple ESC regions, TASB BuyBoard, TXMAS/SmartBuy, DIR, OMNIA Partners, and others—are eligible to respond. Proposals must include all shipping and handling costs to the district’s location in San Antonio, Texas, with delivery required FOB Destination, meaning the vendor bears all transportation risks and expenses until delivery. The contract enforces strict requirements for product substitution, where alternate items must be fully disclosed with specifications, literature, and links; the district reserves the right to determine equivalency. Samples are mandatory for non-specified items and must be deliverable within 72 hours of request. All vendors must submit a suite of certified documents including a Vendor Information Form, Bid Sheet, Line Item Response Sheet, Vendor Certification Form, EDGAR Certification, Conflict of Interest Certification, and Purchasing General Terms and Conditions, all in PDF or XLS format uploaded exclusively via the Bonfire procurement portal. Electronic Funds Transfer is the only acceptable payment method, with net 30 payment terms applied after acceptance of delivery or receipt of a correct invoice. Vendors must certify compliance with federal regulations including domestic preference under 2 CFR 200.322, debarment exclusions via SAM, restrictions on foreign telecommunications equipment from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, and adherence to Texas laws prohibiting discrimination against firearm entities. Additional requirements include registering warranties and passing through cost savings from rebates or promotions, complying with OSHA and EPA standards, labeling all shipments with item identification, weight, source, and manufacture date, and avoiding any unauthorized contact with district staff. The district may terminate the contract with 30 days’ notice and may renew it for up to two additional one-year terms at its discretion. Failure to comply with any form, certification, or procedural requirement will result in disqualification.
