Salisbury R-IV School District is seeking E-Rate Category 2 managed services to operate and maintain existing network infrastructure across three eligible entities.
- **Government buyer:** Salisbury R-IV School District, Salisbury, Missouri; no sub-agency or specific office is identified.
- **Requested service:** Managed Internal Broadband Services (MIBS) to operate, manage, and monitor existing eligible equipment, including firewalls, switches, a router, cabling, wireless access points, a network controller, and UPS battery backup.
  - Coverage is described as serving three eligible entities; equipment quantities are not provided.
- **OEMs named:** **Fortinet**, **Aruba**, and **HP/HPE**. The earlier equipment inventory named the models and part numbers below; the latest RFP attachment does not include that inventory, so bidders may need to obtain the detailed equipment list separately. Equivalent brands are acceptable.
  - Fortinet: FortiGate 201E (FG-201E) and FortiGate 300D (FG-300D).
  - HP/HPE: E2910al-48G (J9145A), E2910al-48G-PoE (J9146A), E2910al-24G (J9147A), E2910al-24G-PoE (J9148A), 2920-24G-PoE+ (J9727A), 2920-48G-PoE+ (J9729A), 2530-24G-PoE+2SFP+ (J9854A), 1920-8G-PoE+ (65W) (JG921A), and V1910-16G (JE005A).
  - Aruba: IAP-305 (JX946A), IAP-205 (JW213A), Aruba 205 (JW164A), and Aruba 7205-US (JW736A).
- **Other named contact:** Consultant Jill Dare is identified for proposals and questions. No service provider or awardee is identified.
- **E-Rate requirements:** The procurement is for Funding Year 2027. Bidders must have an E-Rate SPIN and the applicable Form 473 on file with USAC; the earlier notice also calls for the Lowest Corresponding Price and a SPIN in the bid.
- **Commercial flexibility:** The district may consider multi-year, extension, month-to-month, or other term arrangements, and requires flexibility to add or remove services. Any extension and free services should be identified, and long-term terms should protect the district if E-Rate funding ends.
