Project Description: Project Description - Request for Information
Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source/Sole Brand:
This Request for Information (RFI) Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source is to determine if the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers, or if an alternate commodity or service is available that would meet the County’s needs. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment.
The following commodity or service is thought to be available from only a sole source (or reasonable source) and is the only commodity/services that meets the County’s needs:
Cradlepoint (Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions)
Cradlepoint E300 Ruggedized Cellular Routers provide primary or supplemental connectivity for critical operational technology (OT) systems.
- NetCloud Management Platform:
A centralized, subscription-based cloud management service that enables secure remote deployment, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of network devices across distributed locations.
- Secure VPN and Network Security:
Support for standards-based VPN technologies (e.g., IPsec) with strong encryption, enabling secure communications between field-deployed SCADA/IoT assets and central systems. The platform supports role-based access control and centralized security policy enforcement.
This RFI will remain posted until closing date and time.
Prospective Vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to provide the commodity or service described or written explanation or other documentation contesting the proposed RFI designation.
If you are capable of meeting or exceeding the County’s requirements for the specified commodity or service, respond to this RFI through the electronic bidding system. Vendor should upload any supporting information in the electronic bidding system as part of its response to assist the County in determining if commodity or service is comparable, is available from multiple suppliers, and meets the County’s needs. The Director of Purchasing shall have sole authority in deciding what is comparable.
The Director of Purchasing shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors (thru the electronic bidding system) of the decision whether to designate as a Sole Source/Brand, which decision shall not be subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
