Vergabe-Nr.: I-E/3002275. Bezeichnung des Verfahrens: Lieferung eines Open-Networking-Switch mit 1,6-Tbit/s-Ports. Öffentliche Ausschreibung nach § 9 UVgO. Auffordernde Stelle und Zuschlagsstelle: Fachhochschule Dortmund. Erfüllungsort: Fachhochschule Dortmund, Sonnenstr. 96-100, 44139 Dortmund. Art und Umfang: Der Switch wird für den Aufbau der Hochgeschwindigkeits-Netzwerkinfrastruktur im Forschungsprojekt C2PANDA benötigt. Mit nativen 1,6-Tbit/s-Ports bildet er die derzeitige Speerspitze des technisch verfügbaren Ethernet-Switchings ab und schafft damit eine zukunftsfähige obere Leistungsebene für das geplante Labor. Die Plattform soll insbesondere für Forschungsarbeiten zu 800G-/400G-Anbindungen, Breakout-Szenarien, Open Networking, verlustfreiem Ethernet/RDMA, Telemetrie sowie zur Interoperabilität unterschiedlicher Netzwerkbetriebssysteme und Hardwareplattformen eingesetzt werden. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht die 1,6T-Ebene, zukünftige Hochgeschwindigkeitskomponenten in die Laborumgebung zu integrieren, ohne die zentrale Switching-Infrastruktur kurzfristig erneut ersetzen zu müssen. Durch die offene Architektur mit ONIE/SAI und Multi-NOS-Fähigkeit wird bewusst eine langfristig nutzbare, herstellerunabhängige Forschungsplattform aufgebaut, die aktuelle und künftige Entwicklungen im Bereich Hochgeschwindigkeitsnetze abbildet. Der Auftrag wird nicht in Lose aufgeteilt. Nebenangebote sind zugelassen. Angebote sind elektronisch über www.evergabe.nrw.de in Textform einzureichen. Ablauf der Angebotsfrist: 13.11.2026 10:00 Uhr Ortszeit. Ablauf der Bindefrist: 14.12.2026. Wesentliche Zahlungsbedingungen: Zahlung innerhalb von 30 Tagen nach Rechnungseingang, gegebenenfalls unter Abzug eines gewährten Skontos; Zahlung zu 100 % des Auftragswertes nach Lieferung. Zuschlagskriterien: Preis 50 Punkte, Qualität (Soll-Kriterien) 50 Punkte. Der Angebotspreis (EUR ohne Umsatzsteuer) entspricht der Wertungssumme; niedrigster wertbarer Preis erhält maximal 50 Punkte, höhere Angebote werden proportional bewertet. Die benötigte Switch-Spezifikation ergibt sich aus dem Leistungsverzeichnis; Qualitätskriterien sind in Bewertungsmatrix Anlage 1 näher aufgeführt. Bevorzugte Bieterregel: Bei wirtschaftlich gleichwertigem Angebot einer anerkannten Werkstatt für behinderte Menschen, Blindenwerkstatt oder vergleichbaren Einrichtung gegenüber einem nicht bevorzugten Bieter wird der bevorzugte Bieter berücksichtigt; dessen Preis wird mit 15 % Abschlag bewertet, wenn die Herstellung zu wesentlichen Teilen durch die Einrichtung erfolgt, insbesondere wenn deren Beschäftigte mehr als 10 % des Nettowerts der zugekauften Waren erwirtschaften.
