THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The district plans to purchase a ShopSabre SideKick 12 CNC plasma cutting system with a Hypertherm PowerMax 45 SYNC, water table, CAD/CAM software, and lifetime support for the Ag Mechanics and Welding program. Cost is $29,140, paid up front by the school and reimbursed via the NEA Cooperative using Perkins funding, so there is no net district cost. This signals a committed investment in advanced CTE equipment and ongoing technical support where vendors of related tools, software, and training can explore add-ons, curriculum integration, and future upgrades.
Includes a 12-month CAD/CAM software license and lifetime technical support and training; reimbursed with Perkins funding.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Pocahontas 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.
