Cisco Catalyst floor switches, accessories, licenses, and support for the Naval Research Laboratory

The Naval Research Laboratory is seeking a Cisco floor-switch refresh and associated network components, licenses, and support for the Office of Naval Research. - Government buyer - Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research (ONR), CIO/053; Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). - OEMs and named vendors - Cisco is the primary switch, software, license, and support OEM. - Palo Alto is also named in the SOW in connection with a Palo Alto 3410 Firewall solution. - Products requested - Replace the existing Cisco 3850 floor-switch solution with Cisco Catalyst 9300L and Catalyst 9300 switches, plus associated transceivers, media converters, fiber cables, network modules, power supplies, stacking accessories, and software/licenses. See the product line items for part numbers and quantities. - The SOW lists 7 Catalyst 9300L 48-port switches (C9300L-48P-4X-A), 11 Catalyst 9300L 24-port switches (C9300L-24P-4X-A), and 4 Catalyst 9300 24-port switches (C9300-24P-A). The amendment identifies these corrected switch part numbers; it gives a quantity of 4 for the 24-port 9300L model but does not state quantities for the other two models. - Services and notable requirements - The amendment clarifies that ONR personnel will perform the switch installation, configuration, deployment, migration, and cutover. The SOW also calls for knowledge transfer, documentation, and Cisco OEM/technical support; Cisco OEM support is sufficient. - Provide five-year software and license coverage for the C9300L and C9300 switch models, including Cisco DNA Advantage, Network Advantage, ThousandEyes, and Cisco DNA Spaces. The amendment corrects duplicate five-year license entries to four units each for TE-EMBEDDED-T-5Y and D-DNAS-EXT-S-5Y. - The SOW refers to configuration, installation, and implementation of a Palo Alto 3410 Firewall solution within 60 days after receipt of the purchase order; the amendment clarifies ONR responsibility for the switch work but does not describe a change to this firewall reference. - Delivery is required by the solicitation deadline. The opportunity is a 100% small-business set-aside, and no secondary power supplies, disposal, or site visit are required. - Latest notice - Amendment N0017327Q19000001 adds Government responses to vendor questions. It corrects switch part numbers and clarifies support, installation responsibilities, and duplicate license quantities; no scope or deadline change is stated.
