ITN 260000000034 Cisco Systems Inc

The Michigan Department of Technology Management and Budget is seeking proposals under ITN 260000000034 for enterprise-grade data communications hardware, software, and services to support the State's networking infrastructure and unified communications systems, with responses due August 12, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement — the State has identified Cisco Systems, Inc. as the intended vendor due to unique capability to maintain existing statewide network infrastructure and ensure full compatibility with currently installed systems.

The scope encompasses unified communications solutions for voice, video, and messaging; networking infrastructure components including routers, switches, and security appliances; wireless connectivity systems; facility management and intrusion protection systems; and value-added services including maintenance and support contracts, deployment and configuration, consulting and architectural design via Statements of Work, and training and rollout assistance. The procurement is driven by expiration of Michigan's current Participating Addendum under the NASPO ValuePoint agreement on September 30, 2026, and NASPO's transition to RFX Premier, whose operational structure and strategic direction are misaligned with the State's procurement and technology objectives.

The contract term includes two base years and two one-year renewal options. Written questions must be submitted to Solicitation Manager Kristine Mills at Millsk11@michigan.gov by August 7, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. EST. Any potential bidder who believes equivalent offerings are available from sources other than Cisco must submit a written response by August 12, 2026. Answers to submitted questions will be posted on www.michigan.gov/SIGMAVSS.
