Summary
Regional School District # 19 and the Mansfield Public School District are seeking Chromebooks for
use by students in their respective school districts.
Background
Regional School District # 19 and the Mansfield Public Schools are two school districts located in
Northeastern Connecticut. They are each a public school district.
Core Specifications
The two Districts are seeking quotes for Chromebooks to be used by students. Specifically, the
quote must include all of the following four required items:
1. Chromebook
2. Chrome OS Management License Education
3. White Glove Service
4. Protective Case
For the above four items, see the next two pages for key specifications and information for
each of the above items.
1. Chromebook
• We are seeking quotes for the following model and specifications below:
Dell Chromebook 3120 Laptop: Intel N100, 11.6" non-touch screen, 8 GB
Memory (RAM), Wi-Fi, Webcam, 65W USB-C power adapter included.
Only the minimum no-cost included mail-in warranty is needed; we do not need an
extended warranty.
While the above model is highly preferred, a vendor can optionally quote a different
brand and/or model as an alternative and it will be considered.
2. Chrome OS Management License Education
• The license is for the above Chromebooks
3. White Glove Service
• The white glove service is for the above Chromebooks, and the vendor should
specify what their white glove service includes:
Does it include enrollment or not?
Does it include OS upgrade or not?
Does it include putting on the case or not?
Does it include asset sticker tagging or not and does that include a
scannable barcode or not?
Does it include a spreadsheet or serial and asset number list or not?
If the white glove services are “ala carte”, then list all potential options
priced accordingly that way so the district can select the best choice for
the district.
The district does not need laser etching or other branding artwork.
4. Protective Case
• The case must snap onto the Chromebook; commonly referred to as a “clamshell
case”. It cannot be a sleeve and not be a stick-on case.
• We will need to read/scan a barcode on the Chromebook through the case so
the bottom of the case should have some portion (or all of it) as a clear
transparent case mostly free of texture plastic to allow for scanning of a barcode
label on the bottom of the Chromebook.
• The following model is highly preferred:
Gumdrop DropTech for Dell Chromebook 3120/3110/3100 (Clamshell) –
SKU # 01D020 (https://www.gumdropcases.com/products/droptech-dell-
3120-chromebook-clamshell/)
While the above model is highly preferred, a vendor can optionally quote
a different brand and/or model as an alternative and it will be
considered.
Quantity:
We will place two orders as follows (note there are two different delivery addresses):
• A total quantity of 285 devices as follows:
• An order for 200 devices for Regional School District 19 will be delivered to 1235
Storrs Road, Storrs Mansfield, CT 06268. A standard-height loading dock is

• A separate order for 85 devices for Mansfield Public Schools will be delivered to
205 Spring Hill Road, Storrs Mansfield CT 06268. There is no loading dock at this

Proposal Submission Requirements
1. The quote must be good for at least 21 days. The quote should specify the length of
time until the quote expires.
2. If there are any additional costs for shipping or otherwise, it should be listed on the
quote as a shipping and/or handling charge.
3. The vendor must explain if the quoted items are either currently in stock and/or
currently back-ordered with a rough estimate of an anticipated timeline until in
stock (in both cases, this answer is as of the initial date of the quote).
4. Quotes will be accepted in electronic format only to the email address and name on
this RFQ document (see the beginning of this document). Vendors may use a format
of their own choosing for the quote. Questions about the process should be directed
to the same email address as well.
5. The vendor is responsible for submitting a quote for consideration in a timely
manner with a desired deadline of February 24, 2026, by 11:00AM.
Selection Process
Pricing is the driving factor in the selection process; however, it is not the only factor, as the
districts will consider the vendor’s ability to fulfill this product request. The districts reserve the
right to reject any or all submissions, to select an applicant in a manner that is advantageous to
the districts, and to waive all formalities in the bidding. The districts reserve the right to request
additional information from vendors. The districts reserve the right to potentially modify the
above quantities depending on pricing and available funding. The districts do not expressly
state or imply any obligation to reimburse responding applicants for any expenses incurred in
preparing submissions in response to this request. The selected firm is expected to meet any
relevant state and federal legal requirements. The districts are equal opportunity employers.
