About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hanscom Air Force Base issued a Limited Sources Justification for procuring Cisco networking equipment to replace end-of-life network infrastructure for the Defense Research & Engineering Network (DREN). The procurement specifically includes one Cisco Catalyst 8500-12X4QC Edge Platform and 30 SFP modules (20x 10GBASE-SR and 10x 10GBASE-LR Enterprise-Class modules), utilizing the Cisco GEMSS agreement. The justification emphasizes the unique Cisco configuration requirements and proprietary protocols that would make alternative vendor equipment challenging to implement, potentially requiring significant retraining and network disruption. The contract is a Firm Fixed Price type using FY25 3600 Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funds, with a requested 30-day delivery timeframe after contract award and a total performance period not exceeding 12 months. Market research confirmed at least two capable vendors can meet the requirements through the 2GIT (GSA IT Schedule) vehicle, though the specific awarded vendor was not disclosed in the documentation.
