Description
Oceanside Unified School District issued an E‑Rate Year 2024 solicitation for the procurement of wireless network equipment, specifically Wi‑Fi access points. The district clarified that the scope is “product only” – no licensing, installation, or configuration services are required; the district will handle installation internally. Five vendors submitted bids; the evaluation was cost‑driven, with a scoring system that awarded full points to the lowest‑cost proposal. Consiliant Technologies was selected and awarded a contract valued at $275,196.47 for the access points.
• Scope: Supply of wireless Access Points (hardware only) compatible with existing district network.
• Evaluation: Primarily cost‑based; lowest‑priced vendor received 100 points and won.
• Award: Consiliant Technologies; contract value ≈ $275 k.
• No services, licensing, or ongoing support required from the vendor.
• E‑Rate funding applies, so eligibility documentation is essential.
