TAA & DoDIN APL Cisco Networking for Georgia

GTA's Office of Procurement Management runs technology-specific sourcing under a best-value standard, while statewide contracts — including one covering networking equipment and related services that consolidated prior IT networking and NASPO ValuePoint data-communications purchases — give eligible public agencies a pre-competed path to Catalyst switching, wireless, and related hardware. DOAS separately manages the broader Georgia Procurement Registry and statewide contract catalog that non-IT and mixed-category buyers use alongside GTA's technology vehicles.

Fort Gordon (long known and briefly renamed Fort Eisenhower before reverting) houses the Army's Cyber Center of Excellence and Cyber Command, putting network security procurement — Secure Firewall, ISE-based segmentation — directly in scope for base-adjacent contractors near Augusta. Add Robins Air Force Base's logistics and maintenance mission, Fort Stewart and Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, and Georgia's research base spanning Georgia Tech, Emory, and the University System of Georgia, and the state has a buyer population that spans cyber-focused defense contractors, large research university networks, and traditional state agencies.
