Requirement: Vendors must submit a copy of their Cisco Partner Certificate. Note: The Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport, Rhode Island is NOT accepting quotes or proposals via submission through FBO. This modification (02) is to address inquiries received in response to combined synopsis/solicitation N66604-15-Q-1493: Question: The answer about warranty did not specify the level of support for smartnet. Smartnet has multiple levels of support. Please provide the required level of support? Response: SMARTnet, p/n CISCO2901/K9, 24x7x4 (24 hrs day/7 days wk 4 hr response time) for 3 years. No onsite required. Question: Is it possible to know if your office has associated with any Cisco accounts manager to obtain better support, better prices.

Note: the naval undersea Warfare Center, space division Newport, space Rhode Island is not accepting quotes or proposals via submission through NECO. Can I directly submit the quote and other necessary documents directly to your email? Response: Modification 01 changed NECO to FBO. There are instructions in the combined synopsis/solicitation on how to submit offers. This modification (03) is to address inquiries received in response to combined synopsis/solicitation N66604-15-Q-1493: Question: Where are the docs to bid on this? Can you provide them for me. Response: The synopsis states this is a combined synopsis and solicitation. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Question: The Smartnet you mentioned is 24x7x4 -3 years. Is it only for Cisco 2901/K9 OR also for the WS-C3560X-48T-S? Please clarify. Response: Modification 01 states the Government requires Smartnet warranty for both routers and switches; same Smartnet warranty for both. The purpose of this modification (04) is to extend the RFQ closing date from 3/20/15 to 3/27/15. The purpose of this modification (05) is to respond to inquiries received in response to combined synopsis/solicitation N66604-15-Q-1493: Question: The Compliant Standard NOM is listed. Cisco shows that NOM, Mexico safety standard compliance is available through distribution. Do you require a certificate of NOM compliance? Are the items being exported into Mexico? Response: According to the CISCO website, NOM (Network Order Manager) has reached end-of-sale/end-of-life status. This product is no longer being sold. If for some reason it is still available to distributors, we do not require the compliance certificate, as these items will not be exported to Mexico. Question: The Cisco datasheet shows that the flash memory is 64MB for the WSC3560X48TS (128MB is only standard with the 3750x-12s or 24s). To verify, is the WS-C3560X-48T-S that was requested still acceptable? There is no flash upgrade option for the C3560. Request that the requirement be changed to 64MB. Response: Cisco part #WS-C3560X-48T-S is a sole make and model, no substitute requirement. The Government's specification was incorrect and will be revised to reflect the 64MB flash memory requirement. Question: We wanted to run the recommendations by you/your agency to ensure this is what you want based on the Cisco Specs in the pdf documents vs. what CISCO has provided as a recommendation in Excel. The request includes CISCO1941 router which is the closest router that has the feature that you need and the Catalyst 2960 series switches. Response: The Government has revised its specifications to provide additional requirements to reflect the sole make/model we need. See attached revised specifications. All vendors who have already submitted quotes must resubmit their quotes, since the Government is now increasing the quantity for the Cisco switches from a quantity of 7 to a quantity of 9. The purpose of this modification (06) is to respond to inquiries received in response to combined synopsis/solicitation N66604-15-Q-1493: Question: Will the required delivery date on 4/6/15 be changed due to the change of response date? Response: Required delivery date for Cisco routers and switches shall be 21 days after award of purchase order. Period of Performance for Smartnet maintenance is date of award to 3 yrs. thereafter. Question: P er your email 3/19, you indicated this Solicitation (N66604-15-Q-1493) would be extended to 3/27/2015. Is that still the case as the old date of 3/20 is still being reflected. Response: The closing date has been extended to 3/27/15. All quotes received prior to 3/21/15 will not be considered since the Government increased the Cisco switches from a quantity of 7 to a quantity of 9. All vendors who did submit a quote for qty. 7 will need to resubmit their quote for a qty. of 9. Question: Regarding the new requirement for Router specification, which should have the following Concurrent Services / WAN Speed Up to 75Mbps, original router 2901/K9 is unable to do more than 25Mbps. I am recommending Cisco2951/K9 which can handle Wan Speed 75Mbps. Response: Cisco 2951 will NOT meet the Government's specifications. The 2951 is a 2U form factor; Government router specifications are 1U. Although it is true that the 2901 only supports WAN speed of 25Mbps and the 2951 supports 75Mbps, the Government specification states "up to 75Mbps"; therefore, model 2901 still satisfies the requirement. Also, model 2951 has wireless. Government specifications do not identify a wireless requirement. The Government cannot have wireless model; therefore, model 2901 was not a consideration. The purpose of this modification (07) is to respond to inquiries received in response to combined synopsis/solicitation N66604-15-Q-1493: Question: For the switch, no Cisco switch with both 1 x Expansion Slot and Redundant Power System (RPS) connector is available per Cisco rep. WS-C3850-48T-S is the only 10/100/1000 has redundant power supply option but it doesn't support Redundant Power System (RPS) connector. WS-C3850-48T-S - Stackable 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, with 350WAC power supply 1 RU, IP Base feature set. This is a non PoE switch. It was not mentioned the need to put on the expansion slot. Response: 1. The expansion slot requirement has been deleted. 2. The Redundant Power System (RPS) connector requirement has been deleted. It is the Government's intention to use an internal power supply, not the RPS. The RPS feature was incorrectly identified as a requirement. 3. Clarification of the internal power supply has been provided. The revised specification (dated 3/25/15) is attached and reflects the above-listed changes. The purpose of this modification (08) is to clarify the Government's minimum requirements, extend the solicitation closing date, and request new quotes for solicitation # N66604-15-Q-1493 : 1. The Government hereby further defines its requirements and updated specifications, dated 4/3/15, are attached hereto. No "additional" power supplies are required, see specification. 2. All quotes must provide hardware and associated maintenance as four separately priced Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), per the required quantity as follows: CLIN 0001 - Cisco 29 01/K9 Integrated Service Routers per attached specifications (qty. 6). CLIN 0002 - Cisco router Maintenance, 3 yr., 24/7, 4 hr. response time, no on-site support required (qty. 6). CLIN 0003 - Cisco Catalysts WS-C3560X-48T-S 48-port Gigabit switches per attached specifications (qty. 9). CLIN 0004 - Cisco switch maintenance, 3 yr., 24/7, 4 hr. response time, no on-site support required (qty. 9). 3. All quotes received are no longer considered valid and new quotes must be submitted. 4. This solicitation closing date is hereby extended from 27 March 2015 @ 2:00PM Eastern time to 10 April 2015 @ 2:00PM Eastern time. The purpose of this modification (09) is to respond to inquiries received regarding solicitation #N66604-15-Q-1493, specifically Cisco Switches: Question: From the characteristic column the requirement of "Empty Slots" (1xExpansion Slot) is 'Deleted'. The Switch, however, has an empty slot but a card has to be purchased separately to use this slot. Is this what is meant by 'Deleted', i.e without card? Response: The Government's minimum requirement does not require a card to fill an expansion slot. Question: The Switch comes with a Power Supply by default. What is meant by the terminology:" Required" (2 Bays, One Power Supply by default)? Does it mean that only the power supply by default is required? Response: The Government's minimum requirement is a 2 bay power redundancy with one power supply by default. No additional power supplies are being requested. The purpose of this modification (10) is to change the Government's requirement reflect hardware only, since no maintenance is required. The Government's requirement has been changed from: CLIN 0001 - Cisco 29 01/K9 Integrated Service Routers per attached specifications (qty. 6). CLIN 0002 - Cisco router Maintenance, 3 yr., 24/7, 4 hr. response time, no on-site support required (qty. 6).
