GVSU Network Plan - Juniper Partner

Grand Valley State University issued an RFP for a comprehensive network planning project with a Juniper partnership focus. The university requires a vendor with documented Juniper certifications or partnership, the ability to provide two references for similar work, and compliance with tax‑exempt procurement procedures (including a W‑9 and sales‑tax exemption certificate). Evaluation will consider cost as well as the completeness of the “Additional Requirements” response, and the university reserves the right to negotiate or award to the most favorable proposal. The bid submission deadline is 3 December 2024, and the contract is currently in an “Intend to Award” status. • Vendor must demonstrate Juniper relationship/certifications and submit two client references. • All deliveries are FOB to GVSU; sales‑tax exemption and W‑9 are mandatory. • Socially responsible procurement is emphasized, encouraging U.S.–made products and diversity‑focused sourcing.
