This is a Questions and Answers document for solicitation BD3-0082 addressing IT hardware equipment and Cisco parts procurement.
The document clarifies critical part numbers and vendor requirements for offerors. The correct Extreme Networks part number is X435-24T-4S (not X435-8T-4S as listed in one column). For Cisco products, including the Cisco GLC-SX-MMD Compatible item (Part Number GLC-SX-MMD-AO), offerors must be authorized Cisco distributors/resellers or provide required authentication documentation; direct Cisco authorization by the offeror itself is not mandatory.
