AI Contract Overview
The RFP issued by San Diego Unified School District seeks proposals for Category 2 Internal Connections and related services, including cabling, routers, switches, wireless access points, uninterruptible power supplies, antennas, connectors, and necessary software and licenses, all aligned with minimum technical specifications outlined in the RFP. Pricing will be standardized based on a unit cost derived from analysis of sample sites—Canyon Hills High School, Farb Middle School, and Kumeyaay Elementary School—with the sum of equipment and labor costs for each line item forming the district’s unit pricing. Quantities are estimates and may vary depending on the proposed solutions, but all proposals must include three validated Bulk Upload Templates, each corresponding to one sample school and detailing equipment type, model numbers, quantities, and unit pricing, along with applicable CMAS contract numbers. Proposals must be submitted exclusively via PlanetBids, and failure to include these templates will result in disqualification. Proposals must strictly adhere to FCC E-rate rules, including compliance with the Lowest Corresponding Price rule and the Free Services Advisory, with all pricing information deemed public and non-confidential. Only proposals submitted through the designated PlanetBids portal by the August 20, 2026 deadline will be considered; no other submission formats are accepted. Mandatory site walks are scheduled for July 30, 2026, and require pre-registration via the district’s website. All questions must be submitted through PlanetBids by August 6, with responses published on August 13. Service Providers must invoice USAC within 120 days of service completion or risk the district being responsible only for its non-discounted share. Contracts may include multi-year terms and voluntary extensions, but automatic or evergreen renewals are prohibited. The district’s Senior Contracts Specialist, Jennifer Damiano, is the sole authorized point of contact for modifications, and all proposals must be submitted in good faith with full compliance to USAC and FCC regulations, including non-acceptance of SPAM or robotic responses.
