TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for California

CMAS lets California state and local agencies buy IT products and services from vendors who already hold a federal GSA Schedule, at pre-negotiated pricing, without re-running the vetting process the vendor already passed at the federal level. That path is available to a wide range of public buyers, including California cities and counties, K-12 schools, and the University of California and California State University systems, and California also carries a NASPO ValuePoint cloud solutions addendum for infrastructure procurement outside CMAS.

The state's federal and defense footprint is the largest of any state: Travis Air Force Base runs the busiest air mobility terminal in the Air Force as the 60th Air Mobility Wing's home; Naval Base San Diego is the principal Pacific Fleet homeport with more than 50 ships; and Edwards Air Force Base, the Air Force's second-largest base, anchors flight test and development work for over ten thousand military, civilian, and contract personnel. Add UC Health's academic medical centers, including UCSF, and California buyers routinely need Cisco Catalyst campus switching, Nexus data center fabric, and Secure Firewall segmentation at a scale few other states match.
