Cisco Chasses 6807

Added: Sep 28, 2015 10:27 am The following questions were received regarding this notice (questions in italics, answers in plain) -

Q1: I noticed the RFQ on FBO matches the quote we submitted back in July (reference 114280) line for line. What are the differences?
A1: Notice 114280 went through a couple of corrections to the specifications that caused confusion. Also, Notice 114280 was not clear that substitutions or deviations from the specifications list would not be accepted. This solicitation provides that clarification.

Q2: Are changes highlighted?
A2: No.

Please note, due date for quotes remains 10:30am ET on 29 Sep 2015.
