BOE Cisco Nexus Switch UPDATED

This contract represents an informal request for bid (RFB) issued by the Cleveland Board of Elections to procure networking equipment and associated support services. The award includes a Cisco Nexus 9300‑48‑port switch, a 12‑month SMARTnet extended service agreement, and several ancillary accessories such as power cords, QSFP adapters, and SFP modules. The procurement is structured as a unit‑price award with defined quantities for each line item, and the total awarded value is modest, reflecting a single‑site upgrade of network infrastructure. The terms and conditions impose standard government requirements—FOB destination delivery, insurance, workers’ compensation, inspection rights, and indemnification—typical of hardware acquisitions for public agencies. • Primary hardware: Cisco Nexus Switch 9300 (48‑port) • Additional services: 12‑month SMARTnet extended warranty • Ancillary items: power cords, QSFP‑to‑10G adapters, SFP modules, accessory kits • Procurement type: Informal RFB, open competition, awarded on 23 Sep 2022 • Total awarded value (as disclosed in line items): approximately $17,461
