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. Exact prices are not provided; estimated value is a planning range.
