JPMC Emergency Extension Notice - Presidio Cisco

The Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) is requesting a 90-day emergency extension of a Joint Purchasing Master Contract (JPMC) with Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC to provide Cisco hardware, services, SmartNet maintenance, and licensing. The original emergency contract was for $4 million and covered the period from December 29, 2021 to March 28, 2022. DoIT is seeking this extension to June 26, 2022 to prevent disruption of critical state services, as the solicitation process to replace this contract is still ongoing and a new contract will not be in place by the end date. This JPMC provides discounted pricing on Cisco products and services that DoIT and other state agencies rely on, and without it they would have to procure on an order-by-order emergency basis at higher costs. The funding for this contract will be from state appropriated funds.

The JPMC is available to all governmental units and qualified not-for-profit entities in Illinois. There are no stated set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent contractor is Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC, and the existing contract provides the infrastructure and discounted pricing that DoIT and other agencies need to access Cisco products and services. The contract value is estimated at $4 million, and it will be an extension of the existing emergency agreement, not a new solicitation.
