The School District of Springfield R-12 has issued Invitation for Bid 25-074 for the procurement of K-12 music adoption materials, including various musical instruments and accessories such as chromatic bells, rainsticks, tambourines, and string instrument outfits. This solicitation, posted on January 27, 2025, requires all responses to be submitted exclusively through the official e-bidding system by February 18, 2025.

The District may award the contract by individual line item, group, or on an all-or-none basis, and reserves the right to adjust estimated quantities. Evaluation is heavily performance-driven with a focus on delivery timelines. All communication regarding the bid must be directed to the Buyer of Record, Mrs. Kasey M. Roberts, through the e-bidding portal to avoid violation of District policy. Final acceptance of goods occurs at the District Distribution Center, and invoices must be submitted by May 29, 2025.
