JPMC Emergency Extension Notice 4 - Cisco Products

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), is seeking to enter into an emergency JPMC (Joint Procurement Managed Contract) with Presidio for the procurement of Cisco products, maintenance, and services. This emergency contract is necessary to prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical state services that affect health, safety, or the collection of substantial state revenues. The current emergency contract with Presidio (CMT2026698) is set to expire on June 20, 2023, and a new contract will not be in place before that date, hence the need for a 180-day extension until December 18, 2023. This JPMC emergency contract will be available for use by governmental units or qualified not-for-profit organizations in Illinois.

The emergency contract with Presidio is related to an ongoing RFP process (P-51275) for VoIP and Cisco equipment and services, which was published on September 30, 2021, with a bid opening date of November 24, 2021. The evaluation process for this RFP has been delayed, with the current plan to award the contract by May 15, 2023. The emergency contract with Presidio will be used until the new contract is in place. No additional details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements, or other salient information are provided in the available documentation.
