JPMC Emergency Extension Notice 2 - JPMC Presidio Cisco

The Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) is requesting an Emergency Extension for a Joint Purchasing Master Contract (JPMC) with Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC for Cisco hardware, services, SmartNet maintenance, and licensing. The original emergency contract was set to expire on June 26, 2022, and DoIT is now seeking a 180-day extension to run from June 27, 2022, through December 22, 2022. This extension is necessary to prevent disruption of critical state services while DoIT completes the evaluation of bids for a new Voice over IP (VoIP) RFP, which will eventually replace this contract. The estimated expenditure for the extension is $13,000,000, which includes $5,000,000 for FY23 SmartNet maintenance and $8,000,000 for day-to-day orders by DoIT and other JPMC participating agencies. Funding will come from state appropriated funds. An Emergency Notice of Hearing regarding the proposed extension will be held on June 23, 2022, at 2:00 PM CST via WebEx, and interested parties are invited to provide testimony.

This JPMC is available to all governmental units and qualified not-for-profit entities in Illinois, including St. Clair County. No additional details on set-asides, incumbent vendors, or the current contracting structure are provided in the documents. The total value of the extension is estimated at $13,000,000, which represents a significant increase from the original $4,000,000 emergency contract. This contract is critical for providing discounted Cisco products and services to DoIT and other participating agencies, without which they would face disruption to their operations.
