REQUIREMENTS DESCRIPTION FOR
FOR
Cisco Network Hardware and Software
General: The Indian Health Service (IHS) is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. In support of the agency mission, IHS uses secure Information Technology (IT) to improve health care quality, enhance access to care, reduce medical errors and modernize administrative functions consistent with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) enterprise IT initiatives.
Scope: The scope of this acquisition is to acquire new Cisco network equipment.
Network switches and switch software.
Network routers and router software.
Fiber optic transceivers.
The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary to provide the required network hardware and software. IHS does not require services to install the new network hardware and software.
Background: The IHS Office of Information Technology (OIT) managed data centers in Albuquerque NM and Rockville MD support the agency mission by hosting the Health IT applications and administrative applications used to support day-to-day operations. An assessment of the current network infrastructure in the data centers identified the need to replace some of the devices as they are over 5 year old and subsequently more prone to failure. There is a business need to acquire new network devices to mitigate the risk of failures and provide higher performance capabilities.
Objectives: The agency objectives are to replace the older network devices in the data centers. The new network devices must integrate and coexist within the overall IHS IT network and not introduce the risk of compatibility or integration issues.
Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance is dependent upon the Original Equipment Manufacture’s (OEM) delivery schedule. The delivery schedule is expected to be within 12 months after the contract award date. Offerors shall include an estimated delivery schedule in their response to this solicitation. There are no option periods.
Requirement Description

Delivery: The equipment shall be delivered to IHS locations specified in the Bill of Materials. To coordinate delivery, the vendor shall assign a project manager to work with the IHS Project Officer to schedule equipment deliveries. The vendor’s project manager shall schedule biweekly meetings with the IHS Project Officer to provide updates on equipment delivery dates.
Software licenses and subscriptions acquired through this acquisition shall be electronically delivered via email or assigned to the IHS Smart virtual account IHS-HQ- OIT on the Cisco portal. After contract award, the contractor shall contact the IHS Project Officer to verify the email address and Cisco.com user-id for E-Deliveries.
