Cisco VoIP Hardware, Maintenance, & Software Licensing

The primary purpose and intent of this invitation to bid is to select a supplier to provide the licensing that Pinellas County Schools needs for the continued operation of its Cisco Unified Communication Manager Telephone system and adjacent Cisco Unified Communication systems (including Unity Connection and Contact Center Express). Pinellas County Schools’ current investment in Cisco telephone system hardware (telephones, gateways, routers and servers) make this the most cost-effective and seamless means for continuity of telephony-based communications as the current contract for Cisco Voice over IP infrastructure approaches expiration.
This bid will also call for the supplier to provide and deliver Cisco VOIP Hardware (mainly telephones and analog gateways), software and hardware support, including support for an existing deployment of Singlewire Informacast IP Paging and DNA Advantage licensing for core routing switches. This invitation to bid will include a comprehensive list of SKU’s and quantities for which firm, net pricing must be proposed. Bidders must also provide firm discount percentages off of published list pricing for Cisco parts, licensing and support that are related to Unified Communications, but not specifically listed in the bid. These percentages will NOT be part of the determination for total cost proposed. Proposed pricing shall include ALL freight and handling charges, FOB Destination. All equipment provided must be new and originate from Cisco. No proposals for refurbished/remanufactured equipment will be accepted. The Cisco UC Flex licensing requested is to be supported by a 5-year Cisco Enterprise Agreement that will be structured with annual payments.
