EMA - Exelon Modem Upgrades - ASW

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is seeking to procure 26 RAD ASMi-54L/4ETH/4W SHDSL.BIS modems through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. These modems provide long-distance Ethernet transport with 4 10/100BASE-T ports and 4-wire connectivity. The RFQ requires vendors to submit quotes by Friday, March 15, 2019 at 4:00 PM Central. Pricing must include shipping and handling charges, and no price increases will be accepted. The state reserves the right to reject any or all offers and to award by item, part, or total. The vendor must agree to partial shipment in case of a delay in the total order, and all products must be new and carry a minimum one-year warranty. The pricing matrix provided in the RFQ must be completed in its entirety, and any discrepancies between the unit price and extended price will be resolved in favor of the unit price. Vendor may not bill for any taxes unless accompanied by proof that the state is subject to the tax. Award will be based on the sum total of all products.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The document also does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not list a budget range, but the procurement appears to be for a relatively small quantity of modems.
