Bids Requested for Cafeteria D cor Package for Lewisburg High School

The DeSoto County School District is soliciting bids for a Cafeteria Décor Package at Lewisburg High School under Bid #372-LHSCAFE-DCS25, with an initial unpriced bid submission deadline of September 12, 2025, at 9:00 am CST. Qualified vendors will be invited to participate in a subsequent electronic reverse auction scheduled for September 17, 2025. The procurement process emphasizes a two-step approach: first, submitting an unpriced bid to demonstrate responsibility and compliance with specifications, and second, competing in a reverse auction to establish the final price. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, with the district reserving rights to amend specifications, waive informalities, or reject any bids. Official bid documents and specifications are available from the Superintendent’s office or via the Central Bidding portal, which may involve a fee. The contract is governed by the district’s policies and general procurement principles, with no explicit federal or state FAR clauses incorporated or referenced in the available documentation. The bid process emphasizes non-discrimination and equal opportunity, affirming that the district does not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, or other protected categories. There are no detailed provisions regarding packaging, marking, inspection, delivery schedules, or specific cost breakdowns in the publicly available documents; such details are contained within the official specifications, which must be obtained separately. Administrative contacts include the Purchasing Department at [email hidden] and the district’s central office, with no specific contract type or formal federal contract forms explicitly referenced. Overall, the process centers on competitive bidding, compliance with specifications, and a transparent auction mechanism to determine the final awarded bid.
