About this opportunity
The California Department of General Services Procurement Division is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ #2665-0000000689) for Brocade Core Switches, supporting software, and inclusive maintenance on behalf of the California High-Speed Rail Authority. The procurement specifically targets Brocade networking hardware, including VDX6740T switches, Network Advisor base license software, and comprehensive technical support. Only Authorized Brocade Resellers are eligible to bid, with proof of reseller status required at submission to avoid being deemed non-responsive. The solicitation covers one year of warranty and maintenance support, featuring 24/7/365 service with a 4-hour onsite response time requirement. Electronic bid submissions are not permitted, and all responses must be submitted by March 17, 2016, at 11:00 AM, with a delivery timeline of 60 days after order receipt. The procurement will be conducted for the jurisdictions of Sacramento County and San Francisco City, with all work to be performed at the Authority Headquarters located at 770 L Street in Sacramento. Pricing must be all-inclusive, covering shipping and handling, with sales tax to be added separately during invoicing.
The solicitation utilizes the SB/DVBE Option, which allows awards to California Certified Small Businesses or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises for contracts valued between $5,000 and $249,999.99. For this specific procurement, the DVBE participation requirement has been waived. Potential bidders must submit their proposals through physical means, with clear notation of the solicitation number, due date, and contact name on submission materials. The backup contact for the procurement is Leanne Nguyen, who can be reached at 916-375-4648 or Leanne.Nguyen@dgs.ca.gov for any questions. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be structured for a comprehensive networking infrastructure upgrade, focusing on high-performance core switching equipment. The requirement for authorized reseller status significantly narrows the potential vendor pool, ensuring that only qualified and certified Brocade partners can participate in the bidding process.
