JPMC Emergency Extension Notice 3 - Presidio Cisco

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), is seeking to extend an existing emergency Joint Purchasing Master Contract (JPMC) with Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC for Cisco hardware, services, SmartNet maintenance, and licensing. This JPMC contract is available for use by all governmental units and qualified non-profit entities in Illinois, including St. Clair County. The extension is necessary due to a delay in the replacement contract from a recent VOIP RFP, and will allow for uninterrupted access to the required Cisco products and services for state and local government entities. The original emergency contract was for $4 million, and the extension is estimated at $10 million, with funding from state-appropriated funds. A Notice of Hearing has been issued, and the emergency extension will be discussed at a public hearing on December 21, 2022 at 1:00 PM CST via Webex. Parties wishing to provide testimony must notify the hearing contact person in advance.

This JPMC contract does not have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as it is available to all governmental units and qualified non-profit entities in Illinois. The incumbent vendor is Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC, and the contract provides the Cisco products, maintenance, and services needed by DoIT and other state agencies that rely on this JPMC, as they would not otherwise have access to the discounted pricing and contract terms without this agreement in place.
