Aruba Wireless Access Points

Mesa County Valley School District No. 51 in Colorado is soliciting quotes for 26 Aruba 630-Series Wireless Access Points or current-generation Aruba-brand equivalents, with proposals due October 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Vendors must be registered E-Rate providers with valid SPIN, current FCC green light status, and valid FCCRN with current FCC certification — loss of green light status renders any executed contract immediately null and void.

The scope includes 26 wireless access points meeting specified technical requirements: 2.5 Gbps AP uplinks, multi-gig Ethernet connectivity, required mounting hardware and accessories, and Aruba licensing or subscriptions for operation within the District's existing wireless environment. Vendors must indicate whether items are in stock or provide ordering timeframes, as delivery schedules will influence the award decision.

Pricing is firm fixed price and must be itemized to include all associated costs. Shipping is FOB to the District's Warehouse at 330 24th Court, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501. Vendors must supply their SLD SPIN number and FCC documentation with proposals. The District is responsible for filing Form 474 for E-Rate reimbursement and generating invoices for the USF portion in accordance with Schools and Libraries Division regulations. The District reserves the right to award the bid that best serves its needs. Proposals are submitted via email to Lisa Sharp, Director of Contracts and Purchasing, at Lisa.sharp@d51schools.org.
