This Special Notice from the Department of State US Embassy Kathmandu provides a Question and Answer addendum for Request for Quote (RFQ) 19NP4025Q2917, addressing contractor queries regarding a Cisco networking equipment procurement. The solicitation involves purchasing network components for the American Embassy facility in Nepal, specifically 10 units each of Cisco Catalyst 9300X Network Advantage switches and Cisco Network Module expansion modules. The Q&A document was posted on September 11, 2025, with a response deadline of September 15, 2025. The procurement falls under the NAICS category for Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing and the PSC category for IT and Telecom Network Digital Products. This is a civilian agency procurement with no set-aside designation applied.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide clarification on technical specifications, delivery logistics, and tax requirements for the networking equipment procurement. Key requirements include dual power supplies, 3-year Cisco DNA-E license subscriptions, and delivery can be made CIF to Lincoln Moving & Storage in Kent, Washington, with standard OEM packaging. The Q&A clarifies that no VAT is required for delivery to the USA and that the 2% excise tax may not apply depending on acquisition thresholds. Contractors have until September 15, 2025, to respond to the RFQ, and the document indicates that the equipment will ultimately be destined for the American Embassy's facility in Nepal. The notice does not specify particular eligibility criteria beyond the standard federal contracting requirements, suggesting this is open to all qualified contractors capable of providing the specified Cisco networking components.
