There is no page limitation, but respondents are cautioned to keep marketing materials and non-specific information to a minimum. No responses shall be accepted via US Mail or Fax. RESPONSE CONTENT Responses should be concise, yet detailed, and include the Contractor's statement of interest, capabilities statement, and specific commercial of the shelf (COTS) products that the respondent could deploy to fulfill the requirement if a solicitation were to be issued. Responses may include the attached specification spreadsheets, indicating what product (brand, model#, etc) the respondent suggests to meet such future requirements. Respondents may notate each detailed specification on the spreadsheets, indicating whether the product suggested would meet the requirement or not, and whether there is any other technical consideration, option, exception, etc that would apply.

No pricing information is requested at this time. For purposes of this RFI, the DoS encourages as brief a response as is practicable. NOTE TO RESELLERS Although any interested party (reseller, distributor, manufacturer, etc) may respond, it is requested that resellers or distributors of the referenced Cisco and APC brand items refrain from sending lengthy responses, as those brand names have already been identified by the DoS as potentially acceptable equipment.

SUPPLIES The following Bill of Materials represents the list of foreseeable line items which the DoS may require in anticipated competitive acquisition(s) in the next several months.
