This document is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation CORHQ-26-Q-0251, issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) on June 23, 2026. The primary purpose of the amendment is to revise the procurement requirements per an updated pricing schedule, provide official responses to vendor questions, and extend the Request for Quotation (RFQ) submission deadline to July 1, 2026, at 12:00 PM. The revised pricing schedule outlines 11 items for Cisco hardware, software subscriptions, and associated technical support. Key items include Cisco Catalyst 9500 and 9300 maintenance, Cisco Duo Federal subscriptions and basic support, and Cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE) subscriptions. The periods of performance for these items are structured to co-terminate on July 25, 2027. The question-and-answer section clarifies several contract parameters. The FDIC confirms that this is a full-scope, non-set-aside procurement open to all technically qualified vendors, though Minority and Small Business Enterprises (MBE/SBE) are permitted to self-perform. The procurement is a renewal and a recompete of a larger, previous requirement that involved multiple incumbents. No net-new solutions will be accepted, though equivalent or alternative products matching the specified Cisco SKUs may be considered. The award will be based on the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer and will be announced prior to the start of the period of performance.
