The BOQ cross reference
Your BOQ says Panduit.
What a Panduit schedule maps to in the ranges this company stocks, matched line by line against the stated spec.
Data Systems does not stock Panduit. What it does, and has done across four decades of tenders, is take a schedule written around one maker and return it matched, line by line, from the makers it is authorised for.
A Panduit BOQ is almost always a structured cabling BOQ: category cable, jacks, faceplates, patch panels, cords and the management around them. Every one of those lines has a direct counterpart in CommScope NETCONNECT, which this company stocks and is authorised for, with SYSTIMAX above it where the consultant asks for it by performance tier.
The match is made against the specification the schedule actually states: category, shielding, jacket rating, port count, mounting. Where a line is genuinely particular, and some Panduit lines are, the quote says so instead of papering over it. A substitution that silently downgrades a spec fails the site acceptance test at the worst possible time, so the checking is the service.

Asked at the counter
Can Data Systems supply against a Panduit BOQ?
Yes, as substitution. Data Systems does not stock Panduit; it matches each line to CommScope NETCONNECT or SYSTIMAX and the ranges alongside them, against the spec the BOQ states, and returns the schedule with datasheets so the consultant can approve the swap before anything is ordered.
Will the substitution hold up in a tender?
The quote comes back with current manufacturer datasheets for every substituted line, and manufacturer authorisation letters are arranged for the brands Data Systems is authorised for. Whether a given tender accepts equivalents is the tender's own rule, so check the schedule's substitution clause first.
Send the schedule as it stands, a photograph of a printed page included, and it comes back matched.
