IHS requires a maintenance contract to provide hardware and software support for the Cisco network equipment used on the network.

Software updates for both major and minor software releases. Software Application Support Service with Upgrades (SASU) for relevant products. Software subscription renewals for relevant products.

This requirement is set-aside 100% for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise (ISBEE) vendors ONLY. Responses from other than ISBEE vendors will be deemed unresponsive, and will not be evaluated for award. See RFQ attached for information pertaining to quote submission instructions, evaluation, award information, and terms and conditions.

**See Attachments:** Statement of Work and Attachment 1 - Network Equipment Maintenance Contract - Equipment List v2 for further details. Added current software expiration dates and information to version 4 of the Equipment List. The Software Tab requests Software Subscription Linces for the 4 Cisco FPR1120 firewalls and 4 FPR2120 firewalls.
