The GITM Program recommends a brand name procurement of the following equipment: Part Number Description GLC-SX-MM= Cisco Fiber SFP Module, 1000Base-SX WS-C4506 Cisco 4506 Switch Configured to GITM Specs with SmartNet WS-C2960-24TC-L Cisco 2960-24TC-L Switch, 24-port WS-C2960-48TC-L Cisco 2960-48TC-L Switch, 48-port WS-C3750G-24FS-S Cisco 3750 Switch, 24-ports, SmartNet WS-4148-FX-MT= Cisco 4000 48PT 100BFX WS-X4448-GB-RJ45= Cisco 4000 48PT 1000BT MOD 940-0020 APC Smart UPS Simple Signaling Cable, Grey AP9607 APC Smart Slot Expander Card, DB-9, RS-232 SU700X167 APC Smart UPS 700 GLC-T= Cisco 1000Base-T SFP WS-X4515= Cisco 4000 Supervisor IV The Cisco Switches, APC UPS, APC UPS Cable and Expander Card listed above have been identified as key components of the Department of State infrastructure. Use of third party equipment which has not been tested by the Department nor been proven in field use may result in equipment conflicts, increase the complexity of integration, and may not be compatible with the Department of State network requirements. IRM/OPS/PMA has identified the equipment listed in paragraph two (2) as a key component of the Department?s networking system. Equipment listed above is required to provide network connectivity to existing Department of State?s enterprise network infrastructure based on existing management tools and routing capabilities that requires two critical protocols supported only by Cisco network switches; HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) and EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol). Furthermore, APC Smart-UPS is an IRM ITCCB approved hardware and used to provide power protection for several years. Use of third party equipment which has not been tested by the Department for compatibility with existing hardware and software at this time will cause unacceptable delays to the Program in support of the unclassified and classified IT refresh. As this is a brand name only justification, no one contractor?s unique qualifications are cited as the basis for this justification. Rather, the products identified by brand name herein have been determined to be the only items that meet the Department?s requirements as a key component of the Department?s networking system. The equipment listed in paragraph two (2) have undergone testing, assessment, and evaluation for compatibility with existing hardware and software and is approved for use by the IRM ITCCB for unclassified and classified network. A) Sellers must bid exact match to spec (make, model and spec) B)The products offered in this bid are brand new, not gray market and are in original packaging. C) Seller is providing these products via Cisco authorized channels for new equipment Federal sales. D) Full Cisco warranties will be provided and none of these products will have a negative impact on the warranties of associated system components. To bid on this requirement, Sellers must be Cisco Gold, Silver or Premier Partners.
