About this file
This document is a Questions, Inquiries, and Response record for RFP 4067 issued by the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) in Wisconsin for network optics procurement. The RFP seeks higher capacity network optics to be deployed at each district instructional site in support of a 1:1 device rollout to students. The district does not require installation or implementation services as part of this procurement; vendors should note that deployment and installation will not be included in the scope of work. The RFP specifies technical requirements for CWDM and DWDM optics, with mandatory distance specifications of 70km for CWDM and 80km for DWDM optics. The district currently operates Cisco hardware and software for wired and wireless LAN management, and proposals for Cisco or equivalent products will be considered.
Prospective bidders must comply with all appendices (A-C) regardless of prior business history with MMSD, and submitting a bid does not constitute automatic acceptance of the standard terms and conditions, though vendors should expect the RFP terms and conditions to be required. MMSD indicated openness to considering requested modifications to contract terms on a case-by-case basis with the successful proposer, but the standard terms and conditions in the RFP are expected to remain in effect. The district will not be releasing a separate RFP for installation services, and vendors may submit redlined copies of terms and conditions for consideration, though modifications are not guaranteed.

Is that accurate?
