Wireless Access Points and Switches

The state of Massachusetts is seeking proposals for the procurement of wireless access points and switches. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing and installing the necessary hardware and software to establish a wireless network infrastructure. Key deliverables include the supply and configuration of wireless access points, network switches, and any required cabling or ancillary components. The successful bidder must demonstrate expertise in enterprise-grade wireless networking solutions, with the ability to integrate with the state's existing IT systems. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical capabilities, past performance, and cost-effectiveness. The solicitation has a due date of October 21, 2020, and interested parties should plan to submit their responses by this deadline.

This contracting opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. However, the state has indicated a preference for disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) and small businesses to participate in the procurement process. The current annual budget for this project is estimated to be between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Incumbent vendors or existing contractors have not been specified, but the successful bidder must be prepared to seamlessly integrate their proposed solution with the state's current IT infrastructure.
