22-713 Cisco Wireless Access Points -eRate

Roseburg Public Schools, located in Douglas County, Oregon, is conducting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) numbered 22-713 for the procurement of 35 Cisco Aironet 3802i Wireless Access Points, funded through the federal E-Rate program. The procurement requires vendors to provide their Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) Form 498 ID and submit bids that comply with specific public bidding procedures. The district is seeking wireless access points that will connect to its existing Cisco 5508 wireless LAN controller, with the understanding that the controller has sufficient licenses to support the additional access points. Bid responses are due on March 22, 2022, at 2:00 PM, with mandatory submission via first-class mail. Evaluation criteria include lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with vendors required to provide firm pricing for a minimum of 365 days and specify delivery times from order receipt. Vendors must also indicate willingness to extend contract terms and pricing to potentially participating agencies.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. The contract is subject to E-Rate funding approval, with the district reserving the right to cancel the solicitation if adequate funds are not appropriated. Pricing for the 35 wireless access points ranges from $36,415.40 to $76,471.85 based on vendor responses, suggesting a potential contract value within this range. No incumbent vendors were specifically identified, and the procurement appears focused on expanding the district's existing Cisco wireless infrastructure. The district emphasized compatibility with the current Cisco 5508 wireless LAN controller and requires vendors to understand the technical integration requirements. Vendors must comply with standard government regulations, provide necessary warranties, and meet specific delivery and payment terms as outlined in the ITB documentation.
