Goddard Unified School District 265 is seeking E-rate internet and network operations services, plus 13 UPS/battery-backup units for district sites.
- **Government buyer:** Goddard Unified School District 265, a public school district in Goddard, Sedgwick County, Kansas.
- **OEM:** **Eaton** (including Eaton Tripp Lite products); the broader equipment request permits Eaton or an equivalent manufacturer. CRW Consulting is named as the submission website provider, not as an equipment OEM.
- **Products requested:** 13 UPS/battery-backup units in total, with necessary software and licenses. The equipment breakdown specifies 9 Eaton Tripp Lite 72V extended battery modules (part number **BP72VRM2U**), 2 Eaton 9PX Lithium-Ion 2000VA UPS units with network cards, and 2 Eaton 9PX Lithium-Ion extended battery modules. No part numbers are stated for the 9PX items.
  - The 9 battery modules must be compatible with Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro model **SMART2200RMXL2U**.
  - Hardware bids must cover the entire equipment project; refurbished equipment is not accepted. Installation and initial configuration are not requested for the UPS equipment.
- **Services requested:** Dedicated internet access/data transmission and operations and maintenance for 14 eligible entities/connections. Internet capacity is described as 10 Gbps minimum and up to 25 Gbps in one request; the district bid document describes current 10 Gbps service and proposals up to 20 Gbps. The internet service must provide guaranteed bandwidth and synchronous speeds. Category 1 installation and initial configuration are indicated.
- **Notable bid requirements:** Identify proposed bandwidth, pricing, and installation charges; separately identify bundled ineligible-service costs. The district bid document specifies an internet service endpoint at 16152 W. Explorer Street, Goddard, Kansas, and describes maintenance and operations between 201 S. Main St. and listed district sites.
- **Term:** The district bid document describes a three-year internet term with two additional option years; the Form 470 attachment separately states a four-year service term, so the documents differ on the term.
