The University awarded a contract for Campus Research Network 100Gbps Internet2 to University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development, Ann Arbor, MI, for an estimated $200,000.
The University has a need to purchase Campus Research Network 100Gbps Internet2. This is needed for the Department of Technology Services Infrastructure. The end result of this will be the 100Gbps Connection to the Nationwide Research Network. The university, on information and belief, has concluded that only one vendor can meet its need or can meet the need economically. That vendor is University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development/Internet2. The university has provided detailed justification to support its conclusion as shown on the attached Sole Source Justification Form. Although the university has presented this as a sole source procurement, we are seeking competitive information from firms with the capability of meeting the university's need (even if performed in a manner different from what has been presented) to contact us and provide sufficient information to show the need can be met. If we receive that information, the Chief Procurement Officer will offer a public hearing to consider the matter. Hearing information is described below.
The University has determined that this purchase is only economically available from this source because the University of Illinois research collaborators exclusively utilize Internet2's highspeed national research network
