About this file
This file comprises state responses to bidder questions for ITN 260000000034, a State of Michigan procurement for Cisco Systems Inc network infrastructure. The State clarified through its responses that it is seeking a direct agreement with Cisco to support existing Cisco infrastructure within Michigan's network environment. The procurement is not intended to be fulfilled through OMNIA Partners or other purchasing consortiums, as this approach does not align with the State's strategic direction. The State indicated that while it requires a direct Cisco agreement, Cisco may utilize fulfillment partners to provide necessary networking infrastructure services and products.
The State declined to provide detailed bill of materials, specific Cisco SKUs, detailed item descriptions, or line-item bid documents in response to bidder inquiries, instead reiterating its focus on establishing a direct agreement with Cisco for infrastructure support. In response to multiple questions regarding whether the State was considering alternative network infrastructure solutions beyond Cisco, the State consistently confirmed it is seeking a direct Cisco agreement to support its existing Cisco infrastructure, indicating no openness to alternative vendors or solutions at this time. No information regarding pricing, contract term, renewal options, funding sources, or award timeline was disclosed in the bidder question responses.

| 1 | Could you please confirm whether the State of Michigan is an OMNIA Partners member and whether this procurement may be fulfilled through the OMNIA contract vehicle? | The State is seeking a direct Cisco agreement outside of a purchasing partner organization as this model does not fit the State's strategic direction. That said, Cisco may use fulfillment partners to provide the necessary networking infrastructure required. We would encourage you to work directly with Cisco as a possible option. |
| 2 | If applicable, could you please share the Cisco Bill of Materials (BOM), Cisco SKUs, or a Detailed Item Description (DID) for the products being procured? Our distribution partner requires this information to verify that the requested Cisco products are available on the OMNIA contract or, if necessary, to have the items added. | The State is seeking a direct agreement to support the State's exisiting CISCO infrastructure. |
| 3 | Can you please forward us the detailed bid documents containing line items for which you need the quotation? | The State is seeking a direct agreement to support the State's exisiting CISCO infrastructure. |
