About this opportunity
The Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command, Pacific (NAVFAC Pacific), under the Department of the Navy, is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources for Ethernet switches equivalent to the Cisco 4010-4S24P. The procurement supports Fiscal Year 2025 Military Construction Project P-1181 to harden critical feeders on Naval Base Guam's Joint Region Marianas facility. Required specifications include rack-mountable form factor, redundant power supply (primary and backup), stackability, Layer 3 advanced switching, full ICS/FRCS network compatibility, support for CDP and EIGRP protocols, Software-Defined Access capability, and Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliance. Prospective vendors must submit detailed technical data demonstrating product compatibility with existing systems; however, evaluation criteria and specific technical performance benchmarks are contained in the government's supplemental Q&A documentation. The response deadline is November 19, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time, with submissions directed to Ms. Kory Ann Jury via electronic mail.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and represents a market research initiative rather than a formal solicitation for proposals or bids. The procurement is for 17 Cisco 4010-4S24P Ethernet switches to support four GPA-owned substation SCADA systems at Naval Base Guam. The government has identified Cisco as the incumbent product standard but seeks to determine whether alternative manufacturers can meet the same performance and approval requirements. While no specific award value or contract budget is disclosed in the notice, the quantity requirement of 17 units for a military construction project suggests a substantial procurement. Responses submitted after the November 19, 2025, deadline will not be considered, and the government explicitly reserves the right to disregard incomplete or vague submissions.
