AUHSD districtwide HPE Aruba Networking Central software licenses

Anaheim Union High School District is seeking districtwide E-Rate network software licenses for its existing Aruba-network environment. - Government buyer: Anaheim Union High School District (AUHSD), Purchasing and Central Services, Anaheim, California. - OEM: HPE Aruba Networking (Aruba); equivalent products may be proposed. No network equipment or labor is requested. - Licensing request: Aruba Networking Central licenses across four listed product models, with one-, three-, or five-year terms. The detailed bill of materials lists 2,366, 18, 21, and 785 licenses for each term, with distinct part numbers by term; see product line items. - Network quantities in the broader request: 2,366 wireless access points, 824 switches, and 23 wireless controllers are stated in the initial solicitation summary. Another attachment lists 2,366 wireless controllers, so controller quantities are inconsistent across the source materials. Quantities may be estimates and may vary with the proposed solution. - Related services: Basic Maintenance of Internal Connections (BMIC) and Managed Internal Broadband Services (MIBS) may apply only as part of a proposed solution; the District is not seeking separate bids for them. - Notable requirements: Proposals should address integration, compatibility, and documentation. E-Rate funding is anticipated but not guaranteed, and proposals must distinguish eligible from ineligible costs. Work is to be completed within 30 days after a Purchase Order is issued; no work or billing may occur before the authorized performance period begins.
