COffee Network Firewall

The Coffee County School System is seeking to replace its current firewall with a more advanced piece of equipment. The current firewall brand and model is the Palo Alto 3260, which is not sufficiently advanced to run the various available protections and is approaching end of support. Vendors may submit alternative equipment as long as it is an equivalent make and model and serves the same functionality, including software, subscriptions, support, and configurations. Installation and configuration is to be included in the cost of the bid response. Some key points to consider: • The proposal must include the information requested on the specified RESPONSE FORM. • The vendor must provide documentation and other evidence that alternative equipment is functionally equivalent or better. • The District reserves the right to adjust quantities prior to purchasing based on availability of funding. • The vendor must provide a Service Provider Information Number assigned by the Schools and Libraries Division (SLD). • The proposal must remain valid for 60 days from the date of delivery of the proposal.
