The Forest Municipal School District (FCSD) in Scott County, Mississippi is seeking qualified E-Rate vendors with Service Provider Identification Numbers (SPIN) assigned by USAC to submit proposals for upgraded Extreme Access Points and modules to replace end-of-life equipment in their network infrastructure. FCSD is soliciting bids for 178 indoor access points, 30 outdoor access points, and installation and configuration services. Detailed technical specifications for the access points, including required features and capabilities, are provided in the RFP. Interested parties must submit their proposals by 9am on February 26, 2024. FCSD prefers vendors with a physical presence within 150 miles of the district to support repairs and ongoing technical assistance, and reserves the right to determine product equivalency and request samples for testing. Pricing should be provided for both the access point hardware and any additional cabling required for the installations.

The project will be funded through E-Rate, and FCSD is seeking the lowest and best bid from qualified vendors to upgrade their existing network infrastructure. No set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are indicated. The RFP does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The award value or budget range is not specified in the provided information.
