The item or items being purchased by the United States Air Force in this contract shall be new. Used, refurbished, reprogrammed or equipment of a reconstructed state is absolutely unacceptable. 'Unless otherwise specified, Vendor warrants that the Cisco products are new and in their original packaging. No substitutions are to be supplied without the Buyer's prior written consent.

Provide the lead or delivery time in terms of number of days after receipt of the order. To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of quotes, offerors must comply with instructions contained herein.
