RFP Questions and Responses:
QUESTION: Cisco Prime Infrastructure licenses were requested with C9500-16X-EDU devices, but they are End of Sale. Would you accept an offer without PI licenses for these switches?
RESPONSE: Yes, you can exclude the PI license line item.
QUESTION: For both C9300L-48UXG-4X-EDU and C9300L-24UXG-4X-EDU available part numbers seem to be without the middle dash (C9300L-48UXG4X-EDU and C9300L-24UXG4X-EDU). Please confirm that you will be accepting offers containing the latter part numbers.
RESPONSE: Yes, you can quote without the middle dash.
QUESTION: Please confirm that you will consider offers for C9300L-STACK-KIT and STACK-T3-3M if they are offered as functionally the same spare items (C9300L-STACK-KIT= and STACK-T3-3M=)?
RESPONSE: Yes, as long as the quote contains two stack modules and a 3M cable.

RFP Questions
Question 1:
Is your organization specifically looking to purchase Palo Alto Networks equipment or are you open to receiving an equivalent quote from another manufacturer.
Answer 1: We are replacing an HA pair of Palo Alto firewalls. While our network team has extensive knowledge with Palo Alto firewalls we are willing to consider equivalent firewalls from other manufacturers if they meet our requirement needs.
