Power Switches for (5) DCPS

The District of Columbia Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) is seeking a contractor to provide a one-time order of power switches for five District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). This procurement opportunity focuses on supplying technology infrastructure components to support voice and data systems within the school network. The specific deliverable is power switches, which are critical for managing and distributing electrical connections in network equipment. The contract requires the selected vendor to complete a full delivery of all materials within 60 days of contract award. The procurement is time-sensitive, with an original posting date of June 22, 2009, and a listed due date of December 30, 1899 (which appears to be an administrative error in the original listing). The goods must be compatible with existing DCPS technological infrastructure and meet the specific power and connectivity requirements of the district's technology systems.

While the contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, it appears to be a standard technology procurement opportunity open to qualified technology supply vendors. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the provided documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is detailed in the original posting. The procurement is specifically targeted at vendors capable of supplying enterprise-grade power switching equipment suitable for educational technology environments. Potential respondents would need to demonstrate technical capability, ability to meet the 60-day delivery timeline, and compatibility with DCPS technological standards. Given the specific nature of the procurement, vendors would likely need to have experience in educational technology infrastructure and network equipment provisioning.
