Description

The House of Commons (HoC) networking requirements include edge, distribution, and core network switches, wireless LAN controllers, wireless access points, associated software, professional services, warranty coverage, and ongoing support and maintenance services. This requirement (R.108430) is for the procurement of specialized Cisco equipment through an existing Supply Arrangement. To ensure compatibility with the existing network infrastructure, PSPC will apply a no-substitute approach and solicit bids exclusively from the four Cisco-authorized resellers identified under the Supply Arrangement. The IT Connectivity National Security Exemption (NSE) applies to this procurement due to national security considerations.
