REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT # 19
REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ)
BROADCOM VMWARE VSPHERE SERVICES
September 2026
SUBMISSION/CONTACT ADDRESS:
Information Technology Department
Attn: Seth Horila
Quotes will be accepted in electronic format only.
Please include “RFQ” in the subject line.
Summary:
Regional School District # 19 is seeking to renew its existing licensing and support for its
Broadcom VMware vSphere services.
Core Specifications:
The district is seeking quotes for the renewal of its existing licensing and support for its
Broadcom VMware vSphere services, specifically:
96 CPU cores (or 6 physical CPUs) of VMware vSphere Foundation Prepaid
Subscription for 365 calendar days.
The existing contract expires on October 30, 2026.
While the services above are highly preferred, a vendor can optionally quote a different brand
and/or model of their choosing as an alternative, and it will be considered.
Quantity:
The district may be interested in purchasing varying quantities of equipment and supplies. See
core specifications section above for specifics. At any time, Regional School District #19
reserves the right to modify the above quantities and parts. Unit pricing for items should be
listed on the quote.
Shipping and Delivery:
The equipment requested above will be delivered to 1235 Storrs Road, Storrs-Mansfield, CT
06268. A standard-height loading dock is available at this address.
Proposal Submission Requirements
1. The quote must be valid for at least 21 days. The quote should specify the length of time
until the quote expires.
2. If there are any additional costs for shipping or otherwise, it should be listed on the quote
as a shipping and/or handling charge.
3. The vendor must explain if the quoted items are either (1) currently in-stock and/or (2)
currently back-ordered with a rough estimate of an anticipated timeline until in-stock (in
both cases, this answer is as of the initial date of the quote).
4. After the quote expires, we may choose to reach out to the vendor with a desire to order
additional quantities of the product, however we accept that the pricing might by
necessity change if the vendor can no longer meet that price (or models) after the initial
quote expires.
5. Quotes will be accepted in electronic format only to the email address and name on this
RFQ document (see the beginning of this document). Vendors may use a format of their
own choosing for the quote. Questions about the process should be directed to the same
email address as well.
6. The vendor is responsible for submitting a quote for consideration in a timely manner
with a desired deadline of Monday, September 14, 2026 at 11:59am.
Selection Process:
Pricing is a key factor in the selection process, however it is not the only factor as the
Department will consider the vendor’s ability to fulfill this product request. We reserve the right
to reject any or all submissions, to select an applicant in a manner that is advantageous to the
District, and to waive all formalities in the bidding. The vendor is responsible for submitting a
quote for consideration in a timely manner. If a sufficient number of proposals are not received
by the deadline, we reserve the right to extend the deadline. Additionally, we reserve the right to
extend the deadline to request additional information from vendors.
We do not expressly state or imply any obligation to reimburse responding applicants for any
expenses incurred in preparing submissions in response to this request. The selected firm is
expected to meet any relevant state and federal legal requirements. We are an equal opportunity
employer.
This page summarizes the opportunity, including an overview and a preview of the attached documents.
