RFP Specifications Consulting

 

Bidding specifications need to provide potential vendors a clear understanding of what you need.   Poorly written specifications lead to vendor questions, or potentially receiving bids for products and/or services that do not meet your intent. 

Something as simple as a network switch requires a lot of detail…

• How many ports, and what speeds do the ports need to accommodate?
• Does it need to include power over ethernet (POE) capability?   -  If so, should it be POE or POE+, and what are your total wattage requirements?   (which will drive what power supplies you need)
• Does the switch need to be able to provide layer-3 switching?
• What kind of uplink capability do you require (speed as well as copper, MM or SM fiber)
• Do the switches need to be stackable?

There is no such thing as a simple bid!
