THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Colstrip Public Schools is entering a 60‑month managed print lease with Kelley Create for Ricoh MFPs and HP printers across district offices, libraries, labs, and teacher workrooms. The proposal includes a $2,435.04 monthly lease plus click charges, with an estimated total monthly cost of about $5,860 and a detailed SLA on response times, uptime, replacements, and quarterly reviews. This is decided work, but it signals a districtwide print environment upgrade where vendors can target follow‑on needs like print management software, workflow automation, network and security integration, training, and future rebid planning at the end of the 5‑year term.
Includes fleet of Ricoh IM series copiers and HP E45028dn color and E40040dn mono printers with web portal for service, supplies, and invoicing.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Colstrip High School District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Colstrip High School District's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Colstrip High School District before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
