Windsor Storm Memorial Public Library is seeking E-Rate-funded support for its existing internal network infrastructure for Funding Year 2027. - Government buyer: Windsor Storm Memorial Public Library, a local public library in Windsor, Shelby County, Illinois; no separate agency, sub-agency, or office is identified. - Requested service: Managed Internal Broadband Services (MIBS) to operate, manage, and monitor eligible Category 2 network equipment and related infrastructure. - The latest RFP names firewalls, switches, a router, cabling, wireless access points, a network controller, and UPS battery backup. The referenced inventory is not included, so current quantities and specific models are unknown. - Equivalent brands are acceptable. - Previously named OEMs and equipment: An earlier notice identified one Fortinet FortiGate FG-50E firewall, one Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO-US access point, one Ubiquiti US-8-60W switch, and one Eaton 5SC 750VA unit. The make-and-model attachment was removed from the latest notice, so these should be treated as earlier inventory details rather than a confirmed current bill of materials. - Eligibility requirement: Bidders must have an E-Rate SPIN and the 2027 Form 473 on file with USAC. - Proposal contact: Consultant Jill Dare is identified for proposals and questions. - Contract value: No value or pricing information is provided; the available information is insufficient for a reliable estimate.
