Green Bay Area Public School District approves $1.3 million purchase of 4,575 Lenovo Chromebooks with "white glove" service
Summary
At a Feb. 12 special meeting the Green Bay Area Public School District board approved awarding CDW Government LLC a $1,303,875 contract to supply 4,575 Lenovo 300e Gen 4 Chromebooks and white glove deployment services.
At a special meeting Feb. 12, the Green Bay Area Public School District board voted to award CDW Government LLC a $1,303,875 contract for 4,575 Lenovo 300e Gen 4 Chromebooks and associated "white glove" deployment services.
Board members said the accelerated timetable was intended to respond to upcoming tariff and funding pressures that could affect equipment prices and district budgets. The contract covers the devices and an installation package the district described as "white glove" service, which staff said includes enrollment in the district environment, engraving, boxing and labeling, asset tagging and card sorting.
District staff presented the recommended motion and it was seconded. During discussion a staff member explained that the white glove service is intended to manage the logistics of unboxing, configuring and tagging thousands of devices so they can be deployed to students ready for use. No alternative vendors or procurement challenges were discussed on the record.
The vote was recorded as follows: Crossan, aye; Gerlach, aye; Mills, aye; Lyerly, aye; McCoy, aye. The board announced the motion carried.
The district did not provide further detail in the meeting on delivery timeline, warranty terms, or breakouts of the $1,303,875 price; those items were listed in the procurement memo referenced by staff but not read aloud in the meeting.
