The document is a Bid Samples Label template for the Pinellas County School District's procurement process for Cisco Catalyst Network Equipment. The label is designed to be cut out and affixed to packages containing bid samples, with designated spaces for bid number, bid title, submission date/time, submitting company name, and optional listing of distributors. Bids for this network equipment are due before 4:00 pm on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, and must be submitted electronically through the District's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/PCSB.

The procurement process emphasizes electronic submission and encourages vendors to register on the OpenGov Procurement platform to receive automatic notifications about the solicitation. The district will consider pricing established by the Florida Department of Management Services and has designated Barbara Molfetta as the procurement contact. Vendors are advised that late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances, and the portal's clock is the official timekeeper for all deadlines. The solicitation allows for potential consideration of state-negotiated agreement price schedules and provides clear instructions for vendor participation in the bidding process.
