Bell System Integration and Installation

Jackson County ISD is seeking a subcontractor to deliver a turnkey installation and integration of a synchronized bell system with Cisco Webex Calling and Informacast emergency notification platforms. The project requires the full deployment of hardware, software, and configuration needed to synchronize school bell schedules with both the Webex Calling infrastructure for internal communications and the Informacast system for public safety alerts, ensuring seamless coordination between daily operations and emergency response protocols. All work must be completed in Jackson, Michigan, with the contractor responsible for system testing, training, documentation, and long-term compatibility maintenance. The solicitation is open for responses until July 30, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 268120, which pertains to telecommunications resellers and system integrators. While no set-aside designation is specified, the contract is structured as a subcontract and requires technical expertise in unified communications, public address systems, and emergency notification technologies. The integration must support reliable, real-time synchronization across all campus endpoints, with no disruption to existing telephony or alert services during deployment. Proposals must demonstrate proven experience with similar integrations, compliance with institutional safety standards, and the ability to deliver a fully operational system within the tight turnaround window.
