Attachment A.pdf

Attachment A is a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) Reference List document for an E-Rate Category 2 Network Products & Services contract opportunity in South Carolina. The document establishes pricing references for nine distinct lots of network equipment and services, each referencing specific manufacturer price lists as baseline benchmarks for evaluation. Lot 1 references Extreme PL US 2026 as of June 1, 2026; Lot 2 references Barracuda PL AMER USD as of June 1, 2026; Lot 3 references HPE US Public Sector PL as of July 2026; Lot 4 references Juniper State & Local PL as of June 2026; Lot 5 references Palo Alto PL as of June 2026; Lot 6 references Ruckus PL as of June 1, 2026; Lot 7 references Fortinet PL SC E-Rate as of June 8, 2026; and Lot 8 references Cisco PL as of June 26, 2026. Lot 9, designated as New Functionality, requires offerors to submit the proposed manufacturer's most recent price list with their offer rather than referencing a predetermined standard.

The pricing structure outlined in this attachment establishes MSRP reference points to enable consistent evaluation and comparison of bids across all lots. The use of specific effective dates for each manufacturer's price list ensures that pricing evaluations are based on current market data as of the specified reference dates in 2026. By establishing these baseline references, the procurement allows for transparent pricing analysis while accommodating new or emerging network functionality through the requirement for current manufacturer pricing in Lot 9.
