A: 1) All sales under the Prime Contract for which a) a purchase order has been received and accepted, b) an order has already been placed with Cisco and/or Distributor, during the reporting interval. 2) Any order placed as a result of Partner being awarded the deal based on a mini bid (i.e. solicitation for quotes) or mini RFP. 3) Any order(s) placed as result of Partner being awarded the opportunity based on a full blown RFP that leverages the terms and conditions of the contract and piggybacks off of it. It is the Partners responsibility to verify with the Authorized Customer if the order does NOT clearly state that the order is being placed through this contracting vehicle. Under reporting is grounds for removal from the Contract. 4) Any order that used a channel program (ie. SIP, OIP, VIP, etc.), DSA or Cisco Promotion that used the contract as a purchasing vehicle must be reported. Q: What if I cant find the SKU on the posted contract Price List?
