About this file
This is Amendment #1 to Request for Bids (RFB) 2026-UWMSN-01258-RFB issued by the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the procurement of electronic supplies. The amendment addresses questions submitted by bidders after the initial Q&A deadline of June 17, 2026, at 5:00 PM CT. Bids must be received by 2:00 PM CT on July 10, 2026. The solicitation requires vendors to submit bids based on percentage discounts for manufacturers listed on the Itemized Bid List (Attachment A). Vendors are permitted to submit brand-name equivalents in place of specified manufacturers, provided they clearly indicate which brand is being replaced. Vendors are not required to bid on all manufacturers specified and may submit "no bid" for manufacturers they cannot supply. All bidding information is contained within the current RFB documents; references to the previous contract (bid number 22-5750) are for informational purposes only, and vendors should not rely on materials from that prior solicitation.
Award shall be made on the basis of the highest percentage discount(s) bid for each manufacturer identified on the Itemized Bid List. Bids that include guarantees of specific quantities or dollar amounts will be disqualified. There is no minimum percentage of product lines that vendors must be able to supply to be considered for award. The previous bid tabulation from contract 22-5750 is provided as a reference document showing historical discounts across multiple vendors and manufacturers, including brands such as APC, Belden Wire & Cable, Fluke, Panduit, and Tripp Lite, with discount ranges varying by vendor and manufacturer.

| Are vendors allowed to submit brand-name equals for consideration? For example, Vertiv or Mitsubishi instead of APC |
| Yes. Please indicate which brand you are replacing on the itemized bid list. |
| Do you have the previous bid tabulation available |
| Award(s) shall be made on the basis of the highest percentage discount(s) bid for each manufacturer identified on the Itemized Bid List. Bids that state the University shall guarantee a specific quantity or dollar amount will be disqualified. See table below. |
I'm struggling finding the brands that you would like to purchase. Do you have any information ?
Refer to the Attachment A Itemized Bid List in the Buyer Attachments.
We cannot quote on all the manufacturers specified on this RFQ, in the past we have been told that we must be able to supply a certain percentage of the products lines listed in order to be considered for award. Is this still true?
No. Please state “no bid” on manufacturers you are not bidding on.
| I would like to bid this, but I do not know how to find the previous quote, 22-5750. Can it be attached to the bid request somehow? |
| Bid number 22-5750 is cited for reference only, to indicate that the contract awarded under that solicitation is expiring and is now being re-bid as RFB 2026‑UWMSN‑01258‑RFB. |
All information necessary for submitting a bid is included in the 2026‑UWMSN‑01258‑RFB materials. Information from the prior solicitation must not be used for this bid.

As a reminder please rely exclusively on the documents associated with RFB 2026‑UWMSN‑01258‑RFB when preparing your bid. previous bid 22-5750 do not apply to the current process.
