Mr. Seal,
We received a copy of the opportunity with regards to Poplarville Special Municipal Separate School District, RFP ID: BID #071516CBK Chromebooks, Google Licenses.  During our review we discovered the Samsung Chromebook model requested is End of Life and a new product has been announced to replace the model requested.  The chart below reflects the model requested for the project along with the new model that is the replacement.  We request the RFP be updated to reflect the current model.
Model requested
Current announced model that replaces the requested
Samsung XE303 Chromebook – XE303C12-A01US
Samsung XE500 Chromebook – XE500C12-K01US
 

Answer Posted (June 24)
 
I'm glad you are reviewing our RFP.
 
You will notice that you may submit up to three options which means that a bidder may send in 3 separate bids for different models/brands of chromebooks within their bid packet. Please refer to the EQUIPMENT & LICENSING SPECIFICATIONS section of the bid packet (click here for bid packet information). 
 
Our scoring matrix for this RFP will take into account end of life (EOL) of chromebooks of which bids are submitted.
 
We are hoping that bidders do take advantage of submitting more than one option in their bid packet.  
 
Please consider the Samsung XE303 as a base unit for the purposes of this RFP.
 
Many thanks for your consideration,
