Lexington County School District One is procuring a district‑wide Incident Alert System (branded “CrisisAlert”) through a sole‑source award to Centegix. The solution comprises wearable push‑button badges, beacons, strobes, intercoms, desktop and PA‑system alerts, all linked via a secure Bluetooth‑based wireless mesh network that provides room‑level incident location data without requiring new wiring or structural changes. Installation is planned for 38 school locations across the district. The procurement is justified under the district’s Code § 2105, which allows sole‑source awards when only one vendor can supply the required technology. The contract award is slated for December 7 2023 following a protest‑notice deadline of December 6 2023. No financial terms are disclosed.
