(3) Reason that this is a brand name procurement:

The DSS OCIO requires all DSS VTC devices to be compatible with the existing Cisco VTC infrastructure environment; therefore the hardware purchase of Cisco VTCs is necessary because it is the only product compatible with the existing software and hardware environment as detailed below:

(1) Technology compatibility – The DSS OCIO currently has in excess of 400+ Cisco VTC endpoints that are connected to the Cisco VTC infrastructure. All endpoint devices are required to be registered on both the Cisco Telecommunication Management Server (TMS) and Cisco Video Control Server (VCS). These two infrastructure servers manage all VTC call schedules and VTC calls to all DSS VTC endpoints.
