AI Contract Overview
The Defense Health Agency, under the Department of Defense, is seeking market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for the Research Science Network (RSN) Access Layer Refresh, identified by solicitation number HT942626QE023 and NAICS code 334210. This RFI is explicitly not a solicitation and will not result in a contract award; it is issued solely to gather information for future planning and requirements validation. The technical objective is to modernize the network infrastructure by deploying advanced switching platforms, including 20 units of Cisco C9350 48-port 10G-mGig switches with UPOE+ power, associated power supplies, stacking cables, network modules, and software licenses, as well as two Cisco Catalyst 9500 core switches with high-density licensing and stacking capabilities. The system must support non-blocking, full line-rate switching at speeds up to 100G, dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 routing with OSPF and BGP protocols, IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Power over Ethernet, secure boot, digitally signed firmware, FIPS-compliant cryptographic modules, and STIG-aligned configurations. Respondents must be registered in SAM.gov under NAICS code 334111, submit a capabilities statement not exceeding ten pages in Word or PDF format, and confirm commercial availability of similar products or services. The cover page must include organizational details, points of contact, SAM registration confirmation, and a list of all ordering vehicles held. Electronic responses must be submitted via email to Kirstin Quinn and Emily O’Hara by June 15, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time. The final equipment will be delivered to USAMRIID at Fort Detrick, Maryland, though no formal delivery schedule, pricing, or contract terms are currently defined as this is a pre-solicitation market research activity. Small business participation is encouraged, and no formal evaluation criteria or contract clauses have been established at this stage.
