Turnkey Cisco network switch upgrade and installation for Greensville County Public Schools

Greensville County Public Schools is seeking an E-Rate-eligible turnkey network-switch upgrade for Edward W. Wyatt Middle School. - Government buyer: Greensville County Public Schools (GCPS); no sub-agency or office is identified. - OEM: Cisco Systems is named for the requested Catalyst switches and licenses; equivalent equipment is allowed with supporting documentation. Cisco optics are preferred, but compatible third-party optics are acceptable. - Equipment requested: 18 Cisco Catalyst C9300-48P-M switches or equivalents; 18 five-year licenses, LIC-C9300-48E-5Y or equivalent; seven single-mode transceivers; fiber modules and stacking cables (quantities/specifications not stated in the available attachment summary); and 18 power cables. - Technical requirements: PoE+, Layer 2 access switching, stacking, redundant power supplies and StackPower, and 10G uplinks. The existing Layer 3 core is to remain; the switches are intended to operate at Layer 2. EIGRP is identified for routing where applicable. - Installation and services: Turnkey work includes configuration backup and migration, firmware and credential setup, pre-staging and testing, rack mounting and cabling, cutover planning with rollback procedures, post-cutover testing, written test results, and as-built documentation. Work is planned across four closets; the prior scope specifies a distribution of six, three, three, and six switches. Installation is expected during daytime in summer. The latest service specification calls for removal and return of replaced switches and associated materials; earlier scope language said removed equipment would remain at the school. - Other scope notes: The earlier solicitation identifies 17 replaced WS-C2960X-48FPS-L switches. Manufacturer support, firewalls, and access points are not requested. Equipment labels must include model number, serial number, FRN, and installation date. - Commercial requirement: Vendors must support discounted SPI billing.
