- **Requested equipment in the detailed scope:** 1 UniFi Aggregation switch, 7 UniFi Switch Pro 8 PoE switches, 4 UniFi Switch Pro 48 PoE switches, 80 UniFi U7 Pro wireless access points, and 5 network racks.
- **Scope also lists Form 470 quantities:** 12 wireless access points, 5 switches, 2 racks, and 80 feet of cabling. These quantities differ from the detailed scope; another Form 470 summary lists 2 feet of cabling. Confirm quantities against the controlling scope before pricing.

- **Configuration:** The Form 470 requests installation and initial configuration, while the detailed scope assigns logical configuration and device adoption to district staff; physical unboxing, mounting, and patching are included.
- **Notable requirements:** Bidders may offer the full scope or individual campuses/components. Price is the primary evaluation factor; eligible providers must be in good standing with USAC and supply a valid SPIN.
