Comcast Managed Router Small Purchase Sole Source

The state and local contracting opportunity is for the provision of managed router services for the Illinois Housing Development Authority, a state agency located in Cook County, Illinois. The procurement is a sole source contract with Comcast to add managed routers and associated services to the agency's existing Ethernet network, EPL basic network bandwidth, and Direct2Cloud UNI Azure on-ramp circuits. The contract term is 24 months and includes the installation and monthly recurring charges for a Managed Router M, a Managed Router L, and associated hardware and management services, with a total monthly recurring cost of $490.00. The contract requires the vendor to comply with the State of Illinois' standard terms and conditions, including timely payment, use of minority contractors, prevailing wage laws, auditing, intellectual property, indemnification, insurance, and other standard provisions.

This sole source contract has no set-aside designations or restrictions on the type of organization that can respond, as Comcast is the only identified vendor. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but can be estimated based on the 24-month term and $490 monthly recurring charges. There is no mention of any incumbent vendors or integration requirements, as this appears to be an expansion of existing services provided by Comcast to the Illinois Housing Development Authority.
