The Wicomico County Public Schools in Salisbury, Maryland, is seeking a qualified vendor to furnish, deliver, install, configure, and commission automated weapons detection systems.

While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget limit, they are requesting comprehensive cost proposals from interested bidders to evaluate the financial feasibility of the project.
