AI Contract Overview
Albuquerque School of Excellence is soliciting proposals for the replacement of network switches and firewalls across two campus buildings. The project involves upgrading hardware in three distribution frames, specifically replacing several Fortinet and Cisco devices with new 48-port Power over Ethernet switches and a firewall. While the school intends to maintain its current 10 Gigabit network speed and existing configurations, vendors may submit alternative proposals for higher speeds if cost-effective. The Fortinet 148E-POE switches are excluded from the replacement scope. Bidders must submit their proposals via email to the designated IT contact and Solix Inc. by the December 17, 2025, deadline, ensuring the subject line includes the school name and Form 470 number. Pricing must be inclusive of all taxes and surcharges, and providers are encouraged to indicate if they can invoice USAC directly for applicable discounts. The requested services are categorized under Category 2 Internal Connections and Basic Maintenance for both switches and firewall components.
