San Antonio-Area ISD Seeks School Security Solutions

The Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District (SCUC ISD) is seeking providers for multiple school security solutions, including visitor management software, reunification software and silent panic alert technology.

According to a request for proposals (RFP), the district includes 22 sites with about 15,000 students and 1,925 employees.

The requested visitor management software will track visitors, maintain a database of their information, flag potential security risks, print scannable ID badges and generate reports. The system will be implemented at 19 of the district’s facilities.

Proposed reunification software solutions must facilitate communication between staff, first responders and parents in a manner that streamlines efforts to reunite students with their families. Requested features include digital check-ins, real-time status updates, location tracking, electronic signature capture and secure information sharing. All 22 sites will use this solution.

The requested silent panic alert technology should allow staff to alert law enforcement and initiate lockdown procedures via wearable devices or a mobile application. The district’s minimum requirements for this solution include a wearable badge system, campuswide alerting, standard response protocol incorporation, real-time dashboards and geo-rectified mapping.

More detailed information about RFP No. 25-017S, including all submission requirements and requests, can be found online. Questions are due by 11 a.m. May 28. The deadline for proposals is 2 p.m. June 5. Terri Canal is the point of contact for this solicitation.
