THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Colstrip Public Schools received a managed print solution proposal from Kelley Create covering copiers and printers district-wide for a 60‑month term. The package standardizes on Ricoh MFPs in workrooms, offices, and labs plus 68 HP printers, with leasing and per‑page service pricing and defined service SLAs. The deal signals a sizable print infrastructure refresh; vendors in print, document management, and adjacent IT should track this as an incumbent footprint and future refresh opportunity.

Background

Proposal indicates Kelley Create positioned as contract recipient for a 60‑month managed print lease and service agreement with defined page volumes and pricing.

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.
