won't make sense for larger districts nor for security reasons.

Can you specify things at least partially functionally?  Something like 
this:  For the proxy/filtering server, "OS-Current version of Linux 
running kernel 2.4.18 or later; Squid/SquidGuard or DansGuardian 
installed, configured and functional."  For the web server, "OS-Current 
version of Linux running kernel 2.4.18 or later; Apache with PHP, SSL, 
[whatever else you think necessary] installed configured, and 
functional."  That would allow the widest lattitude in bidding while not 
precluding having a single system meet multiple package definitions, 
since we all know that one Linux server can perform multiple functions.
