RFQ 2026-1713 Network Switches

School District No. 38 (Richmond) is seeking qualified suppliers to provide Cisco Catalyst Network Switches and associated licenses that have reached end-of-life status, with an anticipated need for approximately 308 units over a three-year period. This quantity is purely for planning purposes and does not guarantee any minimum or maximum order volume; actual purchases will depend on operational demands, budget constraints, technological advancements, and product lifecycle changes. The District intends to award a single contract to one respondent who will supply equipment on an as-needed basis, with initial deliveries expected around July 2, 2026, and future orders issued at the District’s discretion. The supplier must be prepared to support ongoing network infrastructure needs through reliable product availability and timely fulfilment. The District will handle all decommissioning of legacy equipment and installation of new devices, placing full responsibility for logistics and setup on its own staff. Proposals must be submitted by June 2, 2026, and all submissions will be evaluated based on qualifications, compliance, and ability to meet the District’s technical and operational requirements.
