Wow, I am surprised by their reaction, perhaps this is their tactic to "squeeze" the maximum out of you. Have they given you a number that they feel is the "right" price for this box (HW+SW)? A suggestion - give the college the hardware spec and let them source it from the "preferred" vendor and charge your reasonable professional fee to install the packages. Make it clear that all hardware warranty issues - they will have to work out with their vendor. Power to them if the total cost comes out lower than your quotation. This is one of the methods I use when a few of my clients play hard ball with the cost. Do not undersell your value added effort + service.
