Question about dealer pricing ($$$$) Vs. online stores ($)

The company where I work is looking to expand network capacity. We currently have a few different sizes of Cisco switches, and need to get some more that are compatible. Our contract IT person sent a quote from Dell for 4 "Cisco SG300 Series 28 Port Gigabit PoE Managed Switches" at a cost of $1,015 each.

Doing a search for the same model, I found it at Amazon and NewEgg for no more than $373 each.

Can someone help me understand the huge disparity in pricing? I'm trying to think of a reason for the difference, but I just can't. Thanks!
