DJS HPE Aruba Expansion

The Maryland Department of Juvenile Services (DJS) is seeking proposals from Master Contractors awarded under the state's Hardware 2012 Master Contract/BPO # 060B2490022 for the expansion of its HPE Aruba wireless network infrastructure. The PORFP requires the procurement of 185 Aruba wireless access points, associated licensing and support services, as well as 10-packs of mounting brackets. The products must be delivered by June 30, 2023 with inside delivery and white glove service, including unpacking and removal of pallets and packaging waste. Bidders must provide separate quotes for two different access point models, with only one option to be selected after review. The primary evaluation criteria will be pricing and adherence to the delivery requirements.

This is a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement, limiting award eligibility to certified small businesses in Maryland. The contract value is not specified, but the PORFP provides two purchase options for the Aruba equipment. Proposals are due by November 22, 2022 at 12:00 PM, and invoices must include specific information and be submitted within 30 days after receipt.
