About this file
This document is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation N0017327Q1900, issued by the Naval Research Laboratory on 15 October 2026. The amendment provides government responses to 19 questions submitted by offerors regarding the solicitation requirements.
The solicitation concerns the procurement of Cisco networking equipment and related support services. Key clarifications include: corrected part numbers for three Catalyst 9300L and 9300 switches (C9300L-48P-4X-A, C9300L-24P-4X-A, and C9300-24P-A); confirmation that ONR Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account credentials will be provided at award; and clarification that a referenced Palo Alto 3410 firewall requirement is an error to be ignored, with the scope limited to the Cisco switching solution only. The amendment confirms that duplicate bill of materials entries for ThousandEyes and Cisco DNA Spaces five-year licenses require only four units, not eight. Equipment delivery must be completed by 30 November 2026, with installation, configuration, and deployment performed internally by ONR resources. Contractor personnel may provide technical support remotely via Teams or phone if issues arise during ONR installation, but onsite visits are not required. The amendment clarifies that vendors need not conduct site surveys or provide installation labor, and that Cisco OEM support entitlements are sufficient without additional direct engineering support. The prime contractor must be a Cisco-authorized partner or reseller, secondary power supplies are not required, and removal of existing Cisco 3850 switches is not required. Offerors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the solicitation closing date using one of the specified methods.

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:
1. Part Number Verification: The following part numbers do not appear to be valid Cisco SKUs. Could you please verify and provide the correct part numbers 3131002M2A2006F and MF31855?
Government response:
Part Number/ Description: C9300L-48P-4X-A / Catalyst 9300L 48p PoE, Network Advantage,4x10G Uplink
Part Number/ Description: C9300L-24P-4X-A / Catalyst 9300L 24p PoE, Network Advantage ,4x10G Uplink
Part Number/ Description: C9300-24P-A / Catalyst 9300 24-port PoE+, Network Advantage
2. Cisco Smart Account: Several license lines require a Smart Account for provisioning. Could you please provide the Cisco Smart Account domain and Virtual Account to associate with the order?
Government response: ONR Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account exist and will be provided at award.
3. Section 4.0 of the SOW references installation of a Palo Alto 3410 firewall. Can you confirm whether this is a clerical error and that the required implementation is limited to the Cisco switching solution?
Government response: This is an error. Please ignore.
4. Page 3 of the SOW contains duplicate entries for certain ThousandEyes and Cisco DNA Spaces five-year licenses. Should vendors quote these quantities exactly as listed, or will a corrected bill of materials be issued?
Government response: this entry is duplicated in error, requires four (4) only.
5. Section F specifies delivery by November 30, 2026, while Section 4.0 references implementation within 60 days after receipt of order. Could you clarify the required completion dates for equipment delivery and network migration?
Government response: The requirement for delivery is by November 30, 2026.
6. For the installation requiring privileged network access, will the Government permit contractor personnel holding active Secret clearances to perform the work without additional facility-specific sponsorship, subject to normal access authorization?
Government response: Installation, configuration, and deployment will be done internally by ONR resources. However, technical support may be required only if there is an issue with the ONR installation and configuration. This technical support can be provided via TEAMS/ Phone and a site visit should not be required.
7. For personnel requiring privileged network access, are active individual Secret clearances sufficient, or must the prime contractor or installation subcontractor also possess a facility clearance?
Government response: Installation, configuration, and deployment will be done internally by ONR resources. However, technical support may be required only if there is an issue with the ONR installation and configuration. This technical support can be provided via TEAMS/ Phone and a site visit should not be required.
N0017327Q19000001
8. Regarding five-year support, should vendors include Cisco OEM support entitlements and licensing only, or is the contractor also expected to provide continuing direct engineering support throughout the five-year period?
Government response: No additional direct engineering support is required, the CISCO OEM support is sufficient to ensure the required Software, Firmware, updates, SP (Service Pack), CU (Cumulative Update), and related routing support and response times.
9. Will a site survey, existing configuration information, or an inventory of the Cisco 3850 environment be provided to support accurate installation and migration pricing?
Government response: No site visit is required. Please see the previous response at Question 7 regarding installation and technical support.
10. Section 4 of the SOW has a typo. It says the vendor shall provide for the configuration, installation, and implementation of the Palo Alto 3410 Firewall solution on or before 60 days after receipt of purchase order (ARO). This should say "Cisco Solution as described in SOW on or before 60 days after receipt of purchase order (ARO).
Government response: Yes, this statement is in error, please ignore.
11. The TE-EMBEDDED-T-5Y and D-DNAS-EXT-S-5Y lines appear twice in the four-unit C9300L-24P configuration. Are these duplicate entries, or is a total quantity of eight required for each?
Government response: Yes, this entry is duplicated, only four (4) are required.
12. Which completion requirement controls: delivery by November 30, 2026, or installation within 60 days after receipt of order? Does the applicable date require completed installation, migration, testing, and acceptance or hardware delivery only?
Government response: The requirement for delivery is by November 30, 2026. Installation will be done by ONR resources. No vendor requirement for installation.
13. What Cisco OEM support level is required for the switches, and must the licenses and support be registered to an existing ONR Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account?
Government response: ONR Cisco Smart Account and Virtual Account exist and will be provided at award.
14. Must the prime contractor or equipment source be a Cisco-authorized partner or reseller?
Government response: Yes
15. Does the nonmanufacturer rule apply to this acquisition, and is there an applicable SBA waiver covering the required Cisco hardware?
Government response: No
16. Will the Government provide the existing Cisco 3850 configurations, network diagrams, VLAN and port assignments, and approved cutover windows after award?
Government response: The requested information is not provided as the vendor will not perform installation and configuration.
17. May migration and cutover activities be performed outside normal business hours to prevent interruption to current operations?
Government response: No vendor requirement. Migration and Cutover activities will be completed by ONR resources.
18. Is removal or disposal of the existing Cisco 3850 switches required?
