The Pomona Unified School District (PUSD) in Los Angeles County, California, is seeking competitive quotes for E-Rate XXVIII Wireless Access Points through RFQ No. 24(24-25)IT. The procurement involves acquiring specific networking equipment, including 55 Ruckus R670 WiFi 7 indoor access points, 3 Ruckus R770 indoor access points, 3 PoE 60W injectors, 8 multipurpose mounting brackets, 1 Ruckus E-Rate SmartZone virtual appliance/controller, 1 End User WatchDog Support, and 58 Ruckus E-Rate SmartZone support bundles. Quote responses are due by 10:00 A.M. Pacific Standard Time on Monday, July 14, 2025, with a contract term from July 14, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and potential extension for two additional annual terms through September 30, 2028. The evaluation criteria will be comprehensive, including 50 points for E-rate eligible services, 5 points for E-rate ineligible services, and 45 points for specification compliance, technical requirements, authorized dealer certification, system compatibility, integration ease, and documentation completeness. Interested bidders must access documents through www.pusd.org/go/purchasing or BidNet Direct, with registration available at no cost. The procurement has specific vendor qualification requirements, mandating that bidders be listed on California Multiple Awards Schedule (CMAS) and/or WSCA-NASPO Service Providers. Vendors must possess a valid Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN), Federal Communications Commission Registration Number (FRN), and demonstrate FCC Green Light Status. The project is explicitly contingent upon E-Rate funding approval, which introduces potential financial uncertainty. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned, the procurement will utilize the 10.50% Los Angeles County sales tax rate. The district will apply a comprehensive evaluation process to select the most technically compliant and cost-effective solution for upgrading its wireless network infrastructure. Although a precise budget range was not specified, the detailed equipment list suggests a significant technology investment focused on modernizing the district's wireless access capabilities.
