Pittsburg Unified School District Internet Access and Network-Switch Infrastructure

Pittsburg Unified School District is seeking high-capacity Internet access and Cisco-or-equivalent network infrastructure for its district offices and network sites. - Government buyer: Pittsburg Unified School District, Pittsburg, Contra Costa County, California. - OEMs and named makes: Cisco Systems is the specified OEM; the network-switch pricing attachment lists Cisco/Meraki and permits equivalent makes and models. Meraki is a Cisco brand referenced in the equipment list. - Internet access (Category 1): Connectivity to District Offices, with incremental pricing for 10, 25, and 50 Gbps and the ability to increase bandwidth up to 50 Gbps during the term. The initial term is one year with two one-year renewal options. Pricing should include recurring and one-time costs and identify ineligible costs. - Network infrastructure (Category 2): Switches and related equipment, software, licenses, support, modules, cables, installation, configuration, shipping, and taxes. The detailed pricing list includes 18 Cisco 9350 access switches and one C9300X aggregation switch, plus a Catalyst 8200L and associated components and licenses. Form-level estimates also cite 19 antennas/connectors and 36 feet of cabling; those entries do not include specific models or part numbers. - Notable requirements: Equivalent equipment may be proposed. The District requests pricing for applicable non-E-Rate-eligible items and requires vendors to identify applicable tariffs and product countries of origin. Network infrastructure is described as a one-time capital investment; the District may consider qualifying BMIC or MIBS elements but is not seeking standalone bids for those services.
