Linewize URL Filtering License Renewal

Linewize URL Filtering License Renewal is a solicitation issued by Lexington County School District One in South Carolina, seeking renewal of web filtering license services under solicitation number BT2026.11. The procurement follows a Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation process, where award will be made to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible offeror without trade-offs for technical merit. The contract is structured as a one-year base term with two one-year optional renewal periods, though only the optional Gemini Advanced Education License has an automatic renewal clause contingent on written non-renewal notice. All items must be new and delivered F.O.B. Destination to the District’s Operations Center at 948 Pisgah Church Road, Lexington, SC 29072, within 30 days of purchase order issuance. The solicitation does not specify contract type, estimated value, or unit pricing due to incomplete pricing data in the bidding schedule, though line items include specific Linewize product codes such as LW-SMG30-LGW-3Y-PA-R, LW-T5-SMGR-3Y-PA, LWConnect3Y, and LW-T5-AWARE-1Y. Compliance with South Carolina state laws is mandatory, including requirements related to illegal immigration compliance, open trade, privacy of student and employee data, and prohibition of indemnification clauses in favor of the contractor. Offerors must submit a completed Service Provider Security Assessment Questionnaire (SPSAQ), adhere to strict information security standards, and ensure no retention or use of personal data after contract termination without explicit consent. The District requires disclosure of any organizational conflicts of interest and reserves the right to terminate for convenience, while contractors may terminate only with 90 days’ notice. All records must be retained for three years after final payment and are subject to audit. Submission is due by June 4, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET via the BeaconBid portal; physical submissions to the District’s Procurement office are accepted as an alternative, but fax and email submissions are prohibited. The contract includes no military packaging standards, no specific marking or labeling requirements, no detailed inspection criteria beyond “new and defect-free,” and no designated Contracting Officer’s Representative or payment office details, which will be completed in the final agreement. Key personnel qualifications are considered only if submitted in narrative form, and no security clearances are required beyond standard visitor badge and background check protocols for on-site access.
