1-Attachment G Cat 2 Edge Switching Pricing Worksheet 1.xlsx

The document is an E-Rate Network Switches pricing worksheet for a Wisconsin-based government agency seeking edge switching network infrastructure. The worksheet details a procurement for Extreme Networks switching equipment, including 162 5420M-48W-4YE switches, 115 5420M-16MW-32P-4YE switches, one ISW-8GP-G4 switch, and one 5320-24P-8XE switch, with additional provisions for configuration and professional services. The agency is specifically looking to upgrade its existing network infrastructure, with a focus on replacing edge switches that are near end-of-life and lacking modern networking protocols.

The procurement is structured within the E-rate funding program, allowing for potential discounts on eligible network equipment. The agency currently maintains a network environment utilizing Extreme Networks switching from core to edge, with SPBM Fabric and Network Access Control (NAC) systems already in place. The proposed solution requires compatibility with the existing Extreme Networks infrastructure, with the pricing worksheet indicating that equivalent alternative solutions will be considered if vendors can demonstrate functional equivalence to the specified models. The worksheet provides a framework for vendors to submit pricing, with columns for unit cost, E-Rate eligible percentage, and total eligible and ineligible costs for the proposed networking equipment.
