The Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) is seeking parts and pricing for the 2027 Network Switch Refresh Project. The procurement will support the district-wide replacement of aging Extreme Networks access/closet switching infrastructure with a standardized Fortinet FortiSwitch architecture.
The current planning baseline includes FortiSwitch 348G-FPOE access switches, FortiSwitch 1024E switches, associated FortiCare support, direct-attach cables, and long-range SFP+ transceivers.
The project is intended to standardize switch models, operating code, configuration, and management; integrate the new access switches with BPS's existing FortiGate/FortiSwitch infrastructure; support automated configuration and firmware deployment; and reduce reliance on external scripts and custom server-based processes currently used to support the legacy architecture.
