Aruba AP-505 802.11ax 1.77 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - 2.40 GHz, 5 GHz - MIMO Technology - 1 x… and 4 more items

The Florida Department of Health issued a contract award on July 27, 2026, with a completion date of October 27, 2026, for a total contract value of $6,879.87. The procurement focuses on wireless networking infrastructure and associated support services. The primary deliverables include fourteen Aruba AP-505 802.11ax wireless access points operating at 1.77 gigabits per second across 2.40 and 5 gigahertz frequencies with multiple input/multiple output technology, priced at $390.19 per unit. Additionally, the contract includes one Aruba 9004 gateway unit valued at $908.09, one HPE Foundation Care extended service agreement providing nine-by-five next business day on-site maintenance and parts and labor support for one year at $303.23, and supporting hardware components including one AC power cord ($3.31) and fourteen mounting brackets for wireless access points ($14.47 each).

The contract represents a straightforward technology infrastructure acquisition by the Department of Health to expand wireless network access point capacity. The ninety-day performance period indicates a relatively rapid implementation timeline. The inclusion of HPE Foundation Care maintenance coverage demonstrates the State's commitment to ensuring operational continuity and support for the deployed wireless infrastructure. The modest contract value and specified completion date suggest this represents a departmental technology refresh or expansion initiative rather than a large-scale statewide procurement.
