7G--meve ADP network switch replacement

The National Park Service Intermountain Region is procuring a Cisco Catalyst 9404-R series ADP Network Switch for Mesa Verde National Park through solicitation 140P1225Q0078. This firm-fixed-price commercial procurement seeks to replace existing end-of-life core network switches that are no longer supported by Cisco's Technical Assistance Center, with the new switch featuring redundant power supply, supervisory module, line cards with 48x 10/100/1000 and 24x Gigabit SFP ports, and a 240 GB internal SSD. The solicitation requires offerors to be registered and active in SAM.gov and demonstrate at least seven years of experience in battery testing or PV-related installation and maintenance. Quotes will be evaluated based on technical capability and price, with award going to the responsible offeror whose quote is most advantageous to the government. Questions must be submitted by 3:00 PM on September 1, 2025, and quote submissions are due by September 5, 2025 at 12:00 MDT.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 334210 with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. The contract involves purchasing a single network switch unit with delivery required no later than November 17, 2025, and the government has not disclosed specific budget ranges or award values. The work will be performed at Mesa Verde National Park located at 34840 US-160, Mancos, CO 81328. The project is part of a broader infrastructure replacement initiative, with additional switch purchases planned for 2026, and each switch will include three-year Cisco SmartNet coverage for hardware and firmware support. The government has issued a brand name justification for Cisco equipment to maintain compatibility with the park's existing 30-year-old infrastructure.
