Description:
Indiana University is seeking a single vendor to replace the entire campus network edge across its eight campuses (≈ 430 buildings, > 300 000 devices). The scope includes supplying modular/fixed edge switches, Wi‑Fi 6E/7 access points (including hospitality APs), a scalable Network Access Control platform, and an integrated management/analytics suite, together with five‑year manufacturer‑backed support, licensing, and training. The contract will be awarded on a fixed‑price basis with a bulk order and a one‑year warehousing commitment. • Deliver edge switches meeting extensive technical specs (PoE++, 25 Gbps uplinks, N+1 redundancy, etc.) for all IDFs listed in the appendix. • Deploy Wi‑Fi 6E/7 APs and controllers with N+1 redundancy, supporting up to 110 k concurrent users at the Bloomington campus. • Provide a NAC solution integrated with SecureW2, Azure AD, Fortinet, and other authentication services, plus a unified management platform with AI‑driven analytics. • Offer 5‑year technical support, 24/7/365 response SLAs, hardware replacement guarantees, and training for up to 20 IU staff members. • Submit a line‑item price proposal with optional value‑add services and a flat‑percentage discount structure, valid for 90 days.

Budget Estimate (AI):

$30,000,000 – $70,000,000

The contract covers a full campus‑wide network edge replacement for eight campuses, involving thousands of switches, tens of thousands of Wi‑Fi APs, and five years of support. Based on comparable university network refreshes, total project values typically range from $30 million to $70 million, with vendor revenue (hardware plus services) representing the bulk of that amount. Therefore a reasonable estimate for the vendor’s earnings lies between $30 M and $70 M over the contract term.
