Audio Visual Standards and Strategies

Lone Star College System (LSCS) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather strategic input on developing system‑wide audio‑visual (A/V) standards and strategies across its 24 campuses in the Greater Houston area. The RFI seeks detailed responses covering past higher‑education A/V deployments, recommended standards structures, classroom, lecture‑hall, conference‑room, and office configurations, control‑system integration, network requirements, maintenance, warranty, support models, training, emerging technologies, and lifecycle cost considerations. Respondents must submit a written response via the LSCS eBid system by 2:00 PM CT on 27 Oct 2026. No contractual award is implied; the information will inform future procurement and potential multi‑year A/V modernization contracts. • Target audience: A/V integrators, system designers, and consulting firms with higher‑education experience. • Scope: Development of standardized A/V specifications, refresh cycles, total cost of ownership, and support strategies for classrooms, lecture halls, offices, and collaborative spaces. • Deliverables: Written narrative (max 4,000 chars each) plus any supporting documentation attached to the RFI response. • Timeline: Issue 9/29/2026 → Questions due 10/27/2026 (noon) → Full response due 10/27/2026 (2 PM). • Potential follow‑on: LSCS may issue a formal RFP/RFQ for design, installation, and ongoing services based on the insights gathered.
