St. Jean Vianney School in Baton Rouge is seeking bids for E-Rate Category 2 networking equipment and licenses, with **Meraki** products preferred and equivalent products allowed.
- **Buyer:** St. Jean Vianney School, Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana.
- **OEM:** **Meraki** is specified; equivalent products are acceptable. The RFP identifies Eliska Dumas as the contact for questions and bids.
- **Requested equipment and licenses:** The detailed RFP lists 16 access points (CW9172I-RTG), 20 access-point licenses (LIC-ENT-5YR), one MX75 firewall (MX75-HW), one MX75 security license (LIC-MX75-SEC-5YR), one MX67 security license (LIC-MX67-SEC-5YR), and nine switch licenses across six part numbers. See line items for quantities and part numbers.
- **Quantity discrepancy:** The FCC Form 470 separately lists broader totals of 50 wireless access points, 3 firewall service/components items, and 16 switches, without part numbers. These are not aligned with the detailed RFP quantities and should be treated as separate stated requirements.
- **Notable requirements:** Installation and initial configuration are not requested. Vendors must be actively registered to do business in Louisiana; Category 2 vendors must have an office within 60 miles of the school. Listed quantities are minimums.
- **Contract term:** Multi-year contracts with voluntary extensions may be considered; specified license models have five-year terms.
