Description

Tucson Unified School District seeks Category 2 network equipment, including switches, indoor and outdoor wireless access points, required licenses, and related components needed for a complete, operational solution. The district will consider equivalent equipment compatible and interoperable with its existing network. Proposals must include equipment specifications, manufacturer warranty details, and pricing for E-Rate-eligible and ineligible items, including applicable taxes, shipping, installation, configuration, and contingency pricing for possible site substitutions. The pricing sheet identifies equipment and estimated quantities by school site. Installation is required for selected access points only. The procurement covers two funding years, with equipment purchases and installation associated with each year; access point installation must be completed by June 30, 2028, for year one and June 30, 2029, for year two, subject to possible extensions for funding or delivery delays. Vendors must provide E-Rate service provider information and file for federal reimbursements using the Service Provider Invoicing method. The district may make multiple or partial awards, and any resulting contract is contingent on E-Rate funding approval.
