Questions:

• Question: The first listed switch is described as a 24 port switch, but the SKU listed 5420M-48W-4YE is for a 48 port switch.   Need clarification on your requirements for this line item.
  
  Answer: The listed part number for “Extreme Networks 5420M 24port 802.3bt 90w PoE Switch (or equivalent)” was incorrect. It has been updated to reflect the correct part number (5420M-24W-4YE).
   

• Question: Contingent upon USAC funding, when does the district plan on making this purchase? Will it be in phases or all at once?
  
  Answer: We would most likely issue a purchase order for the full project on or after July 1, 2022 as soon as e-rate funding and our local budgets have been approved.
