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.
