Brief

The Mayor's office, through the Information Technology Agency, is proposing an Annual Requirements Contract (ARC) with Cisco Systems Capital Corporation and Presidio Networked Solutions LLC to modernize the City's network. The contract would run through June 2028. The file was referred to the Government Operations Committee on June 26, 2026, where it currently awaits review and approval.

Full summary

The City of Los Angeles is pursuing a capital modernization project to upgrade and expand its core network infrastructure through a partnership with two vendors: Cisco Systems Capital Corporation and Presidio Networked Solutions LLC. An Annual Requirements Contract (ARC) structure allows the City to order network equipment, software, and related services from these vendors as needed over the contract term, rather than committing to a fixed purchase upfront. The Information Technology Agency submitted the proposal to the Mayor's office on June 23, 2026, positioning this as a strategic initiative to enhance the City's technology backbone. Network modernization typically addresses aging hardware, improves security posture, increases bandwidth capacity, and ensures the City's IT systems can support departmental operations and public-facing services more reliably. The file was introduced by the Mayor on June 26, 2026, and immediately referred to the Government Operations Committee, where it remains pending. The contract is authorized to run through June 26, 2028. No further action, committee hearings, or votes have been recorded to date. The file is still in the early stages of the legislative process.
